BXBX NOVEL Chapter 539 - 539 Moving the Grave
Huo Zhou was still sleepy and felt that Xiao Ran had yet to walk out of the shadow of Qiao An’s departure, so he was especially suspicious and sensitive.
“Xiaoran, you’ve regained your memory now. You should know that Xiao Ming and I are people worthy of your trust. If you have anything, why can’t you leave it to me and Xiao Ming? Look at how weak your body is. You should stay here and recuperate for a few more days.”
Xiaoran shook his head stubbornly with watery eyes. “An’an is still in the back mountain. I don’t want her to lie there alone. She’ll be afraid. I want to take her somewhere.”
!!
Huo Zhou was completely awake. “Xiaoran, are you going to move An’an’s grave?”
Xiao Ran nodded. “On the day An’an had an accident, I fainted from agitation. The villagers buried her simply. An’an doesn’t like this place. I’m bringing her to where she wants to go.”
Huo Zhou looked at Huo Xiaoran’s haggard and thin body and pulled his arm to stop him. “Xiaoran, there’s no hurry. It won’t be too late to do it after you recover.”
Xiao Ran took his hand away. “Zhou Zhou, please.” Then he turned around and left decisively.
Ki Ki stood not far away and felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at his daddy’s imposing body. Although he didn’t understand his daddy’s love for his mommy, he could feel his daddy’s love and responsibility for his family.
Xiaoran set an example and taught Ki Ki a lesson.
As Xiaoran was leaving, Ki Ki suddenly ran over. He stuffed a few steamed buns and a water bottle into Xiao Ran’s hand.
Ki Ki said nothing, but Xiaoran saw the love in his son’s eyes. He rubbed Ki Ki’s head and nodded in relief.
“Wait for Daddy to back.”
“Yeah.”
“Protect your sisters.”
“Yeah.”
Xiaoran took the food given by his son and left with a smile.
Xiao Ming stood in front of the window and looked at Xiaoran’s back quietly. Xiaoran’s simple reminder for Ki Ki to take good care of his sisters moved Xiao Ming.
Although Xiaoran was a man, he was meticulous. He had to worry about Joey’s mentality at all times, even if he, his biological father, was by her side.
No wonder Qiao An kept pining over Xiao Ran.
At the back mountain.
Xiao Ran dragged his tired and weak body like a pioneer who had traveled thousands of miles. He was hungry, tired, and haggard when he reached Qiao An’s grave.
He squatted in front of Qiao An’s tombstone and smiled at the name “Qiao An” written on it. Then he placed the bun in his hand in front of the cemetery. In a gentle, sexy voice, he started a family conversation with Qiao An.
“An’an, I saw our children. They’re good-looking, kind, and merciful. Thank you for teaching them so well.”
“This is the steamed bun Ki Ki gave me. It’s also your favorite. Hubby will eat it with you. Okay?”
Xiao Ran picked up a steamed bun and bit it until tears streamed down his face.
He choked again and said sadly, “You fool, why didn’t you tell me the first time you saw me that you were my wife? That way, I wouldn’t be so muddle-headed and let you suffer so much.”
“Why did you care about my feelings? If I’m really that mixed up, why don’t you just tie me up and bring me home? Why did you have to suffer with me and make me happy? Did you want me to fall in love with you again?”
“I’ve never given you the happiness you gave me. An’an, how can I bear it?”
As he spoke, Huo Xiaoran’s originally calm mood turned into all kinds of emotions.
He punched the tombstone sadly. “An’an, I’ll take you where you want to go. Okay?”
“An’an, actually, I’m not as brave as you. I don’t have the courage to face the rest of my life without you. I just want to be with you forever. An’an, what should I do?”
“I know you’ll scold me for not being strong enough. No, you won’t. You can never bear to.”
He finally cried in pain again.
The seven-foot man cried like a child.
He lay on Qiao An’s tombstone, trembling like a sieve.
“Honey…”
The grave was erected in a perfunctory manner. Perhaps because the tombstone could not withstand Huo Xiaoran’s weight, it suddenly collapsed.
Huo Xiaoran wiped his tears and snot and endured the grief to dig out the tombstone. Then, he used his hand to throw away the yellow soil bit by bit.
The newly built soil grave was soft, but there was some sand mixed in the soil. Xiaoran’s hand was quickly pierced and riddled with holes.
But how could he feel pain? He was focused on carefully digging the soil. After an unknown period of time, he finally dug out a hard object that was like a bone. His heart trembled, then he carefully dug it out as if he had obtained a treasure.
Huo Xiaoran looked at the thick long bone with a sorrowful expression.
He was a doctor and knew the human bone system extremely well. More importantly, he had hugged and kissed Qiao An countless times and pieced her back together after she fell off the building. He was extremely familiar with Qiao An’s constitution.
Huo Xiaoran looked at the black bone in a daze. In the end, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly sped up to push it to the mound.
When all the bones appeared in front of him, Huo Xiaoran did a detailed comparison of every piece. In the end, his tense face suddenly relaxed.
“An’an. This isn’t you,” he muttered excitedly to himself.
But in the next moment, he was wrapped in huge despair. If this wasn’t Qiao An, where was his Qiao An?
Where had Qiao An been for the past two days?
Was she hurt when she escaped the fire?
If she wasn’t injured, she would definitely come back for him. But if she was injured, would she be in danger if she didn’t receive timely help in the past two days?
Huo Xiaoran was so frightened that he trembled. He grabbed the water bottle and steamed buns and ran crazily in all directions.
His thoughts were a mess, and his mind went blank for a moment.
It was just that his only rationality allowed him to catch some clues. Where Qiao An’s phone had fallen must be where Qiao An had passed.
Thinking of this, Huo Xiaoran ran excitedly in the direction where the phone had fallen.
...
There were weeds everywhere. There was no path at all.
Huo Xiaoran’s hope that had just risen was faintly extinguished.
Suddenly, he saw traces of broken grass not far away. Huo Xiaoran was secretly shocked and followed the traces.
The path was very steep. After passing through the grass, he suddenly saw two footprints in the soil. One big and one small. With a doctor’s understanding of foot sizes, Huo Xiaoran concluded that these were the footprints of a man and a woman.
