I don't know if my feeling is correct or not. It's just a guess. But I also understand that myself and my dad have some reasons for it. If I were not Zheng Lifu's son,
If I were just an ordinary person, no one would deliberately care about me even if I had any abnormalities that others could not detect.
This question is not very clear. I can only make a conclusion when I learn more about it.
Huang Po didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, she had made it very clear that there was still something in Chen Yu's body, but Huang Po could not do anything about it. But I was relieved to have reached this point. At least I still had time to think about other things.
Method.
It was already evening when I came out. Brother Wen said that we should rest here for the night and leave at dawn tomorrow. If I had just arrived here, I would not stay in this coffin-like yard overnight, but with Mrs. Huang
After getting in touch with her, I discovered that she was not as scary as she looked on the outside, it was just her profession that created that kind of personality.
Mrs. Huang tidied up a room for us, and no one was seen after that. The three of us sat in the room, unable to sleep for the time being. Brother Wen said: "Let's take this time to plan the next plan, Commissioner
Comrade, please tell me more specifically what was going on with Liao Dalong at that time."
I recounted Liao Dalong's situation at that time, emphasizing his instructions before leaving not to explore the underground river again. Brother Wen was meditating and smoking heavily. When he raised his head again, I asked him
How is Tao Xiaochuan's situation?
"I can't tell what his condition is." Brother Wen shook his head: "He has been in the hospital and his life has been saved, but the doctor suspects that he suffered some serious injury to his head. There are no obvious wounds. His consciousness is still unclear. He occasionally speaks.
His speech is also messy, without beginning or end."
As soon as I heard this, I didn't have the heart to listen to what they said next. I was not very interested in their subsequent actions. Brother Wen was still chattering. He said that Aunt Yu valued Shiyanchuan very much and had already let go.
, we need people and equipment, this is no problem, but we must thoroughly search the ruins of the underground ancient city in Shiyan River. As for the underground river, we can give up temporarily.
Listening and listening, I fell asleep. In this kind of environment, I couldn't feel completely at ease. I don't know whether it was psychological reasons or whether Huang Po's yard itself was abnormal. Brother Wen was clearly whispering to Chen Yu next to him.
I could hear what they were saying very clearly, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I could see the little boy of thirteen or fourteen who was lying in the hut opposite sneaking into our house, squatting at my heels,
He pointed at my eyes and asked me curiously what was in my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, the illusion disappeared, but when I closed my eyes, I saw that scene again. This happened several times.
, I was anxious and scared. Brother Wen saw something was wrong with me and asked me what was going on. When I told the truth, he went to knock on Huang Po’s door. Huang Po went to sit in the small room opposite. In this way, I
I finally settled down and had a deep sleep.
But I still dreamed, and the dream was quite bloody. I dreamed that I kept asking people to find out what was in my eyes, but no one could answer my question. In the end, I was completely offended by this question.
, actually reached out and dug out his own eyeballs to take a closer look.
Because of this, the quality of my sleep was not good, and I felt dizzy when I got up in the morning. Mrs. Huang planned to cook porridge and chop firewood there. I washed my face and went to help. She didn't refuse, and just watched me chop the firewood. When I chopped a pile of firewood,
When we were getting firewood, she asked me to carry the firewood to the kitchen, and I did as she asked. Po Huang stood at the door of the kitchen, looked at me, and said to me: "Your life is very hard. In the future, someone will
Help you, someone will harm you, you have to see clearly."
"Grandma Huang, what is this?" I looked at Grandma Huang, wondering why she suddenly told me this.
But Mrs. Huang didn't say anything and drove me out of the kitchen. I didn't want Brother Wen or Chen Yu to notice anything, so I just stayed by the kitchen, pretending to help Mrs. Huang with her work, and kept questioning her, because I didn't say half of what I said.
If you swallow it back, it will make people very confused. However, Mrs. Huang seems to be very principled. She will say what should be said without asking her, and there is no point in kneeling down to her for what should not be said. I begged for a long time, and finally
Still no result.
After having a bowl of porridge, we left the village and hurried back along the way we came. We stopped at Tongbai County. Brother Wen was very considerate and said that Chen Yu and I had been tossing for so long and needed a little rest.
Anyway, the matter is not urgent at this hour and a half, and the extra manpower is probably not available yet.
The day we arrived in Tongbai County was July 16th, and I still remember it very clearly until now.
In life, everyone lives like that day by day, but there are always some special days that they will remember firmly, such as the birth of a child, the family moving to a new house, etc.
For me, July 16th is a very unforgettable day.
At that time, I thought that since I was resting, I would have a good rest, so I took a shower in the hotel, and planned to sleep without thinking or doing anything. After taking a shower, I lay on the bed.
I turned on my cell phone. There was no signal in Huang Po's village, so I turned off my cell phone for two days to save some electricity. When I turned it on, there were thirty or forty incoming call reminders. I looked at them one by one and found that these thirty or forty
The calls were all made to the same number. It was a very unfamiliar number that I had never seen before.
If an unknown number occasionally calls one or two times, I probably won’t pay attention to it, but if this number calls so many times in succession, I have to pay attention to it. There is no one else in the room, except Brother Wen and Chen Yu.
Room, I thought about it and called back according to that number.
The call got through quickly, I said hello, and there came a voice that sounded so familiar to me.
"Little boy."
"Dad!" I almost couldn't help but shout out. That was my dad's voice, absolutely right.
At that moment, I didn’t know how to describe my feelings. I had been looking for him, but never found him. However, when I was ready to continue searching for a long time, he suddenly contacted me. I am not a very naive person,
To use the dialect over there, I was even a bit "skinny", but after I heard my dad calling me, my eyes became sore. I endured it for a while and forced back the tears.
My mood was very unstable, but I was surprisingly sober. I just wanted to speak but I held it back. My cell phone was detained by Chen Yu and others for a period of time. I can't guarantee whether it has been tampered with by them. No matter what happens,
No matter what, I think I have to stand with my father.
"Dad, please wait a moment. I'll call you again. The number is a landline. Please hold the phone and answer it at any time."
I couldn't help but hang up the phone, but when I picked up the landline on the table, I found that I couldn't make any calls. Maybe there were people staying in the hotel holding phones to make outside calls, so the hotel just cut off the outside lines. I wanted to get through.
I had a lot of nice things to say to the front desk. Fortunately, my voice was quite charming, so the little girl at the front desk was fooled and gave me an outside line.
I immediately dialed the number again, and this time I felt more comfortable talking. I asked my dad where he was now and when he would be home.
"Little Tong, my father is still out of town. He has been busy recently and things are quite urgent, so he can't go home yet." My father spoke very slowly, and his voice sounded gentle. This was gentleness that I had never heard before in my memory. He
His seriousness and dullness were all gone, just like a kind father to other children: "Little boy, I want to talk to you."
I felt a little strange. If under normal circumstances, I had lost contact with him for so long, he would have at least asked me where I was now and who I was with. But he didn’t ask and just started talking. He didn’t ask, and I
There's no way to tell.
"Little boy, please calm down and listen to the phone. Have you read the letter dad left?"
"I've seen it, I remember it all."
"The main thing I want to talk to you about today is you. I admit that when it comes to your education, or my attitude toward you, Dad made a very serious mistake. Many parents have made this mistake.
I think many parents will continue to do this in the future. My expectations for you are too high. From the moment you were born, I have always felt that you will be a unique child who will always stand out in the future.
, this mentality of hoping that my son will succeed made me make mistakes again and again."
"Dad, you're blaming me for not living up to expectations." I didn't expect that after father and son reunited after a long separation, he would talk to me about this. I could hear that he seemed a little disappointed and complaining, but I don't blame him, because even I don't
I feel that I am not up to par.
"No, your growth has a lot to do with me. If you really fail to live up to your expectations, I have an unshirkable responsibility." He took a deep breath and said, "The reason why I'm talking to you about this is because I want to
It makes sense, as a father and you as a son, we both have to face one problem, you are just an ordinary person."
"Dad, you have to know that I have never denied this. I have always considered myself an ordinary person." I thought about it. The reason why we, father and son, have lived peacefully together for so many years is because I didn't know anything in the past.
Now, I am an adult after all, and I feel that some issues must be discussed on the table, otherwise if I keep covering them up, sooner or later, bigger problems will arise: "But you may not be as ordinary as me."
"I am also an ordinary person." He was silent for a moment, and then said bluntly: "It's just that fate forced me to embark on an extraordinary path."
