I cried for a long time, and then said, "Dad, I miss you."
"I, we... also miss you very much." Father's voice was choked.
I have never been away from him for so long, even though he has always been a strict father, but he has raised a child for more than ten years, in order to prevent the family from being threatened, he chose to face the complicated and dangerous world alone. That feeling is indescribable.
The young eagle may eventually spread its wings, but no matter how high it flies, there will always be two pairs of caring eyes looking at it.
That is love.
From father.
From mother.
I chatted with my father for a long time, from leaving home, to Xi'an, to the notes of the second uncle, to encountering Lian Daozhen, the desolation of Shihuang Mausoleum, the ruthlessness of the peach blossom field, the body of the candle dragon as tall as the Himalayas, and the mystery in the Chiyou mound. I told him all.
My father prevented me from telling me where I came from, because it would make people perceive me. He said: "In any case, protect yourself. Mr. Lian is a good man. He is your elder brother and is more competent than me as a father. You have to thank him."
I looked up at Lien Daojin and said, "My dad asked me to thank you."
Lian Daozhen had a weird face, he wanted to say something but he didn't say anything. Later I thought, he might be embarrassed, how to call my dad. After all, the two are about the same age, do you want to call father like me? I guess he can't yell out...
Father said: "Your mother misses you very much and is worried about you. After you leave, she cries every day, but you don't have to worry, she is very healthy."
"I miss Mom so much, the sweet rice porridge she cooked, and the sweet and sour pork ribs she cooked."
Father was silent for a long time, and then said: "We are not afraid of it, so if we want to eat, we come back to eat."
My heart felt warm, but I couldn't follow his words. I could only change the subject: "By the way, the card you gave me was lost before I could use it. If you have time to report the loss, please."
"Give me your address, and I'll mail you another card." Father said immediately.
I glanced at Lian Daozhen and said, "No, money is dirt. We can still get this thing."
"Really?" Father said, "but don't do anything illegal."
"Of course not, we only do good deeds, and are very low-key, never leave a name." I said.
"That's good." Father said with relief, "It's good to be a good person."
After chatting for a while, I knew that my father was still at school. Although it is a pity that I couldn't talk to my mother, there are still important things to do. Therefore, I asked him: "The stroke code left by the second uncle has been cracked. It is a person's name, Professor Mo Xinshu, do you know it?"
"Professor Mo Xinshu?" Father repeated, and then he didn't say a word. He might be thinking.
I was looking forward to it, but after a while, my father replied: "I don’t know this person. Although there is a professor with the surname Mo, the name is wrong, and he belongs to the music department."
"Music?" I asked, "Could he have another name?"
"Impossible." My father immediately replied, "I have known him for almost ten years and have never heard of other names. What's more... He died of liver cancer a few years ago."
"Huh?" I was very surprised and passed away
Then Professor Mo from the music department is definitely not the one that my second uncle asked me to find. However, if I don't even know my father, how can I find it
"I can ask a friend from the Public Security Bureau to check it for you. There is a name and a job title. The scope is not too big." Father said.
"okay then… "
Although a little disappointed, the conversation with my father made me very happy. Since I was young, I have hardly talked to him for so long. And his father's tone has never been so gentle.
When I was young, he always had no good face to me, and he was very strict in speaking and doing things. I always think that I either picked it up from the garbage dump or gave it to me for my phone bill. But now that I know the truth, I understand that I guessed wrong. In fact, I was dug out from an iceberg...
I talked about other things with my father again, and he repeatedly told me to pay attention to safety and go home if I didn't want to be outside. I replied repeatedly, and then hung up the phone reluctantly.
Lien Daozhen walked over and asked, "Didn't you ask?"
"Yeah." I nodded and said, "My dad doesn't know this Professor Mo. This is really strange. Why does the second uncle want to make such a big turn and ask me to find him?"
"Maybe the enemy's power is too strong." Lian Daozhen said.
"Perhaps." I thought for a while, and said, "Professor Mo can't be found for the time being, what can we do? It seems to be idle suddenly..."
"You can wait for Asan here." Lian Daozhen said.
I took a sip and said, "Waiting for him might as well dig a pit and bury himself. I don't know if the province is pitted by him."
"Then eat first." Lian Daozhen said.
He didn't say, I forgot about eating. Move the table over, there are a lot of stewed vegetables on it, and a bottle of Erguotou. Ren Daozhen opened the lid with his fingers and poured the wine into the cup. The cup was from the hotel, it was very big, and a bottle of Erguotou was just full after being poured into it.
He picked up the cup, silently, then raised it, raised his head...
When the cup was put down, it was empty. He drank a whole bottle of Erguotou in one sip. However, my face was as usual, I was stunned when I saw it, and I felt like he had something on his mind.
At this time, Lien Dao really said unintentionally: "The relationship between you and your parents seems to be very good."
"It's okay." I said, "My dad is stricter, so I'm still closer to my mom. When I was a child, I thought about it if there was only my mother in the world."
"Really..." Lian Daozhen sat there, his head hanging down slightly, his voice was a little low, and he seemed very lonely: "Yes, it's better than nothing."
I was stunned, and then I understood what his thoughts were.
However, I really don't know how to persuade such things. After thinking about it, I asked: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why do you want that ancient text rubbing? I remember, what state is it?"
"Yuzhou." Lian Daozhen said.
"Oh, yes, it's Yuzhou, right?"
"Ok."
"What do you want it for, is it important?" I asked.
"It's very important." Lian Dao nodded, and said lightly: "Someone told me that it was an ancient Chinese that appeared with me."
I was shocked, but I didn't expect the topic to turn around and then back to Ren Daozhen. However, this has already aroused my full curiosity, and I have to continue to ask: "You are in Yuzhou, uh... born?"
"Well, just like the stone monkey in Journey to the West, it popped out of the ground for no reason." Lian Dao was a little self-deprecating.
Seeing him like that, I didn't feel good, so I said, "What's wrong with the stone monkey, so powerful, the world is invincible, and the Great Sage Qitian is here."
"It's just Bi Mawen who was only ridiculed." Lien Daojin said.
I was a little dumbfounded, thinking about it carefully, the real experience of Lian Dao is really similar to Monkey King Monkey King. They are all born without a father or mother, but are very powerful characters. However, he has great abilities, but he has always been bullied.
Regardless of the fact that Monkey King finally made a big noise in the Temple of Heaven, it seemed like a big cow. It was not that he was crushed by the palm of the Tathagata for five hundred years, and finally became a monk with a bald man whose forehead was clamped. A cat and a dog can bully him miserably all the way. Although he was sealed to fight and defeat the Buddha, many people know that the so-called fighting and defeating the Buddha is just an empty name.
I'm a little speechless, I don't know what to say. The atmosphere is a bit dull. If I don't say anything, I'm afraid Lien Dao will really get depression. Therefore, after pondering for a long time, I feel that since he has a knot in his heart, it is better to untie it straightforwardly. So, I said: "In fact, there is a big difference between whether there is or not, but as someone said, there will always be milk and bread. Don't worry."
Lian Daozhen glanced at me and said, "If you like to use famous sayings to comfort people, you'd better read more books."
I chuckled and said, "I don't dare to be interested in foreign celebrities. What I am most curious about is your childhood. For example, Yuzhou..."
"Actually, I don't know much about many things." Lian Daozhen shook his head and said: "The first thing I can remember clearly is to appear outside the Taohuayuan."
"Huh?" I asked in astonishment: "I don't remember at all before? How was you born, who raised you, why would you forget that time..."
"I don't remember." Lian Daozhen's mouth showed a bit of bitterness, and said: "So, you are much better than me. At least, you already know your ins and outs, and you still remember your childhood. And I don't know anything. , I only knew that I entered the Peach Blossom Spring, and then wandered until now."
"Maybe many people feel that I often do things that put myself in danger because of a moment of anger. But who can understand that a person does not know his origins, and even the memory is lost. I don't even know my life. What else can people be afraid of?" Lian Daozhen sighed, and then said, "So, I seem to be calm, but sometimes, I will do some extremely impulsive adventures. Only extreme danger can make me Forget about the troubles that have plagued them for decades."
I was stunned, this time I really didn't know how to say it. I didn't expect that such a strange thing would happen to Lian Daozhen.
How could he lose a memory of such a powerful person
I was a little puzzled and asked: "Then how do you know that the ancient text is... Oh, yes, you just said that someone told you, who said it?"
Lian Daozhen's eyes showed a trace of recollection, and said, "It's Lord Zheng."
"That Zheng Ye from Peach Blossom Spring?" I asked.
"Yes." Lian Daozhen said: "Ye Zheng said that after he took me into the mountain, in order to clear my suspicion, he specifically asked someone to inquire about it. Finally, it was confirmed that I first appeared in Yuzhou, and It is accompanied by an ancient text."
"Is he lying to you?"
"No." Lian Daozhen shook his head and said, "Master Zheng has no reason to lie to me, and even if he lied to me, he would not use this method. Master Zheng's investigation attracted those people's prying eyes on Taohuayuan, so I was just I was arranged to become a foreign affairs mountain man and deal with those people.” (End of this chapter)
