Chapter 186 No More Breath
There were only the mother and her son at home, and their life was very difficult.
In order to buy medicine for his mother's illness, Xiao Douzi had no choice but to resort to stealing.
Fusu felt mixed emotions as he listened to Xiaodouzi's story.
He didn't expect that in this prosperous city of Xianyang, there was such a poor family.
He secretly made up his mind to help the mother and son overcome their difficulties.
Soon, they arrived at Xiaodouzi's home.
In a shabby hut, a sick woman was lying on the bed, her face pale and haggard.
On the edge of Xianyang City, in a dilapidated thatched cottage, Xiaodouzi and Fusu hurried home.
Along the way, Xiaodouzi was worried, but he also held a glimmer of hope.
I hope my mother is just asleep, and I hope that familiar cough will sound again.
Entering the house, Xiaodouzi called out repeatedly in the dim light.
"Mother, mother, I'm back, and I brought a kind brother to see you."
But the person on the bed didn't move at all.
Fusu felt an ominous premonition in his heart and gently pushed Xiaodouzi away.
He asked the Jinyiwei who followed him to take care of him, and he walked carefully to the bedside.
Xiaodouzi's mother's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and her lips were bloodless.
Fusu reached out and gently checked her breath.
My heart sank suddenly - I had stopped breathing.
Xiao Douzi obviously noticed something. He broke free from the Jinyiwei's obstruction, rushed to the bed, and shouted loudly.
"Mom, wake up, what's wrong with you? I'm back with your favorite big brother, wake up!"
His voice was full of helplessness and despair, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Fusu felt a pang of sadness in his heart and he squatted down.
I hugged Xiaodouzi tightly, trying to give him some comfort.
Xiaodouzi burst into tears in Fusu's arms, as if he wanted to cry out all his sorrow and grievances.
His cries echoed in the dilapidated hut, sounding particularly desolate.
"Mother, how could you leave me alone..."
Xiaodouzi cried as he spoke, his voice trembling and weak.
Fusu listened to his crying and his heart was filled with sadness.
He knew how cruel it was for a child to lose his mother.
In the afternoon in Xianyang City, the sun shines through the clouds, casting mottled shadows.
Fusu stood in front of the dilapidated hut, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Xiaodouzi knelt beside the bed, holding his mother's cold hands tightly.
Tears had already soaked through his clothes. Fusu walked over slowly and patted Xiaodouzi's shoulder gently.
"Xiaodouzi, your mother...what happened to her?"
Fusu's voice trembled a little.
Xiaodouzi raised his head, his eyes full of helplessness and despair.
"Mother...she left...she went to find my father..."
Fusu's heart tightened and he squatted down, trying to learn more about his mother from Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodouzi sobbed and told the story of his mother intermittently.
It turns out that Xiaodouzi's mother is also an outsider.
In order to find her husband who was conscripted for labor service, she came to Xianyang alone.
She didn't know her husband's name, only that his surname was Meng.
During the long wait and search, she gradually fell ill.
Although Xiaodouzi is still young, he already knows how to share the housework with his mother and take responsibility for taking care of her.
However, fate was so unfair to them, and his mother eventually left him.
Fusu listened to Xiaodouzi's story and his heart was filled with grief and anger.
