C28 (1/2)
When I heard Liu Hao's father say that the child I drew was Liu Hao's brother, a strange feeling immediately surfaced in my heart.
Looking at Liu Hao's mother's sad expression, the more I thought about it, the more certain I felt. At the same time, I was extremely curious as to how Liu Hao, this brotherhood that I had never seen before, disappeared, and why he had been following Liu Hao all this time.
I turned my face and looked at Liu Hao's uncle who was lying on the bed. I kind of understood why the little demon would help Liu Hao and why he would attack his uncle.
This was ”fighting cannot be separated from one's own brothers. You still need father and son soldiers to fight” ah! I couldn't help but mock him.
However, after Liu Hao's father told me the whole story, I was completely speechless. I just sat there, speechless for a long time.
It turned out that when Liu Hao's mother was pregnant with him, he went to the hospital to do B Chao. At that time, the medical conditions were quite limited, but B Chao could still see two children hugging each other in Liu Hao's mother's stomach.
Don't mention how happy Liu Hao's parents were, who had just become human parents, and filled with anticipation to see their two children, in addition to being meticulously cared for.
It was a pity that when the baby was born, it was actually a conjoined child. Other than hugging his brother, Liu Hao and his brother also hugged tightly together.
When Liu Hao's parents saw this, they were even more heartbroken. They thought to themselves, ”Why did the heavens make such a big joke, how are the two children going to live in the future?”
Liu Hao's parents went to numerous hospitals to seek medical help for this matter, but in the end, all of the specialists shook their heads repeatedly, saying that they could only protect one child, because the two of them looked like they were together. However, there was actually another child's brain tissue at the place where the two children's bodies were connected, so if they were to separate by force, it would definitely severely damage the other child's brain, causing the probability of the two infants being separated and surviving peacefully would be completely zero.
Although Liu Hao's parents felt extreme pain when they saw these two children, they couldn't possibly directly order one of them to die, right?
Because of this, Liu Hao's parents hesitated for a long time, but were still unable to make up their minds.
However, as the two children grew up, the difficulty of the operation became greater and greater, and it was possible that one day they would completely lose this opportunity. Under the persuasion of the people around them, Liu Hao's parents finally gritted their teeth and made a decision, to undergo the separation operation for the two children.
The result was as predicted by the experts. Other than a large scar on Liu Hao's face, there was not much of a problem. However, the other brother who was born with him had died before he could even come out from the operation room.
Although Liu Hao's parents had long been mentally prepared for this, they were still grieving when they were really faced with this situation. They cried and brought the other brother's body back home, then used a small wooden box to store it before burying it.
Although I don't have a brother, I do have family members. For example, my grandfather's death almost made me fall, so I understood the pain of being separated into two pieces of flesh and bones. Thus, I whispered a few words of consolation to Liu Hao's father.
But at this moment, Liu Hao's father suddenly raised his head, stared straight at me and asked: ”Do you know what happened when I was being buried as a child?”
I shook my head dumbly. What could happen to a baby that was a few months old when it was buried?
Liu Hao's father had an extremely odd expression on his face. He looked like he was crying, yet at the same time, he looked like he was smiling. His face was filled with deep sadness and helplessness.
”I remember that it was a night, and after a bit of rain, I held the small wooden box and walked as gently as I could, afraid that I would hit the child inside,” Liu Hao's father muttered to himself, ”I came to our Liu family's grave, and just as I was about to bury this little life that had just passed away, there was a laugh coming out from the box.”
When I said these words, Liu Hao's father's voice suddenly became louder, his tone was especially weird, I couldn't help but shiver, and felt my scalp go numb. It was hard to imagine what kind of feeling it would have under such circumstances.
”Ma Que, did you know? Of course, when I heard this voice, I wished so much that my child had come back to life again,” Liu Hao's father smiled faintly and sighed: ”So I opened the small box and saw that my son had actually opened his eyes. He was lying there motionless with a smile on his face.”
As Liu Hao's father spoke, he picked up the picture I drew, extended a finger and gently caressed the child's face, and said softly: ”That expression, is exactly the same as the one on your painting.”
