Chapter 3305: 24 meteorites reappeared yesterday (2/2)
”We also find it ridiculous. We don't know why my mother made up such a lie.”
Bai Xiaolu blushed and said, ”This kind of thing is very common in the wasteland-people are always born like wild beasts, die like wild beasts, reproduce like wild beasts, and nine out of ten children don't know who their father is. What does it matter? At least, there must be a father. I really don't understand why my mother lies like this. It's not a shame.
”My sister and I have repeatedly asked our mother-it doesn't matter who it is, and we can accept who it is, even if she doesn't remember it, at least telling us that there is a father, we are satisfied.
”But my mother insisted that there was no such person. She was only pregnant when she touched the meteorite, saying that our three siblings were all'sons of the meteorite', really, alas, she was a little crazy after that and died soon.
”Did you know, boss, for a while I hated my mother very much, hated her crazy things, why did she have to deceive us with such ridiculous jokes? Why do we have to say that we have no father?
”If we have a father, even if we don’t know who he is, we can all imagine that he may be an invincible hero, or he may be an evil but very powerful villain, an evil and terrifying demon, and a wandering world. The passers-by, or the handsome underground people, that's all good, right, that's all good.
”But,'Son of Meteorite'? A broken stone that fell from the sky! This joke is not funny at all!”
”It's not funny.”
Jinya Old Avenue, ”But, don't hate your mother, maybe she has difficulties.”
”Of course, we don't hate her anymore, we just think she is very pitiful.”
Bai Xiaolu sighed, ”Anyway, in the wasteland, we have nothing. It doesn't matter if we don't have a ‘father’ anymore.”
Having said this, the two fell silent again, not knowing what to say.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that their gazes were cast at the center of the carpet at the same time.
The eyes are sticky, unable to break free for a long time.
”Boy, if one day, you find your father.”
Jinya Old Avenue, ”What do you want to say to him and what do you do?”
”I don't know, how about you?”
Bai Xiaolu shook his head, ”If you found your child, what would you say to him and what would you do?”
”I don't know. I never thought about such a thing. They would have died long ago. They should.”
The golden tooth boss finally retracted his gaze, exhaled a suffocating breath, and waved weakly, ”You should rest, and I should take a good rest.”
”……it is good.”
Bai Xiaolu moved with difficulty, moved to the door inch by inch, grabbed the door frame and stood for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and tremblingly said, ”Old, boss, is Monopoly fun?”
”……Maybe.”
The Golden Tooth boss sat up and looked at Bai Xiaolu, ”Maybe it's fun.”
”Then, can you teach me how to play?”
Bai Xiaolu felt that he was about to cry.
He thought that the Golden Tooth would at least hesitate to refuse.
Unexpectedly, the lines of the golden tooth boss suddenly became soft.
”Come here, kid.”
The golden tooth boss beckoned, smiled, and knocked on the carpet beside him, ”Sit down and I will teach you to play.”
...
They played Monopoly for a long time.
It was said that I only played one game, but in the end I played one game after another. Maybe ”Monkey Chess” is really fun.
”This is the ‘opportunity card’, this is the ‘public fund card’, you have to draw a card when you reach this question mark, understand?”
”Ha, I own the waterworks and the railway company, you are dead, kid!”
”In this way, if you buy all three parcels of the same color, the rent can be doubled, isn't it, boss? Then you have to pay me, right, boss?”
”Hey, hey, escape card!”
”What, what, pay income tax? There is such a thing!”
”I won, this won me again, right, boss, hahahaha, boss?”
They played one game after another. Two chess pieces wandered and lingered on those ”streets” that had long been turned into ruins. They had them again and again and lost them again and again. Bai Xiaolu was completely thrown into it, forgetting that he was in the wasteland. The purgatory.
”Come again, come again!”
The boy blushed, waving the toy banknotes and the title deed, and exclaimed excitedly, ”I will defeat you this time!”
This time, the golden tooth boss spread his five fingers, gathered the chess pieces and dice, and shook his head at the boy.
”Enough, kid, it's over.”
The golden tooth boss smiled, his voice hoarse.
Bai Xiaolu was stunned, the smile and blush on his face gradually solidified, stiffened, and dissipated.
”Can't we play another round? Just one round!”
The boy begged, and he wanted to cry again.
”If you play another round, it will be over.”
The Golden Tooth boss opened his palm, let the chess pieces and dice roll, collide, and murmured, ”Everything is going to end, you listen, the music is over.”
The singing of ”Yesterday Reappearance” stopped at any time, and in the small living room, only the boy could not help sobbing.
