I stayed at home for a week, just to accompany my parents. There were some things I was embarrassed to say out loud when I got older, but I still told my parents the day before I left.
"Dad, Mom, wherever I go from now on, no matter where it is, even in the sky or on earth, I will tell you before I leave. As long as I can make a phone call, I will definitely do it. I will never disappear again." Something happened."
I was very serious when I said this. My mother listened, wiped her eyes, and then hugged me tightly. As for my father, he was stunned for a long time and then said: "Okay, okay, that's how it is. "
In fact, I should thank my parents. No matter what injuries I suffered outside or what pain I experienced, when I came back to them, they always tolerated me with love, even if they couldn't heal my wounds or stop my pain. It hurts, but with them here, I still feel warm.
It is I who should cherish them. From the moment I become sensible, I must cherish them all the time!
The plane flew to Tianjin, and I felt at ease. I had parents, a home, and roots!
When I arrived in Tianjin, I immediately went to find Master Liu. After settling his daughter's matter, Master Liu no longer lived in that small building. I didn't know where he lived specifically. The only clue was Qinhuai gave me a number. He said it was Master Liu’s new address.
For the rest, Qinhuai seemed to be hesitant to speak and did not comment too much.
The call was quickly connected, and it was Master Liu who answered the phone. His voice was still as ugly as ever, but in comparison, it looked older.
"Master Liu? I'm Chengyi. I've arrived in Tianjin and want to come see you? Is it convenient?" Master Liu's personality is somewhat weird. He may not be willing for me to visit him, so I asked on the phone of caution.
There was silence for a while, and then he said: "Come on, it's lonely to be alone. I live in xxx now."
Master Liu's answer was more straightforward than I expected, but I couldn't help but be surprised. Why was it this person? Hasn't his daughter fully recovered using the heaven-defying technique
Thinking like this, I still hailed a taxi, reported the address Master Liu gave me, and rushed there.
When we arrived at the place, I was a little shocked. I didn't expect Master Liu to live in such a place!
Is this place too remote and crude? Obviously not, on the contrary, this place is a wealthy area here, and the place where Master Liu lives is actually a villa.
Thinking of the simple little building where he used to live, the contrast arose, which is why I was shocked.
I found Master Liu's villa according to the address given by Master Liu. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one came to open the door. I simply lit a cigarette and waited patiently until almost half of the cigarette was smoked. , then I heard the sound of the door opening. If it wasn't Master Liu standing in front of the door, who was it
In the past, when I saw him, I almost always saw him in a small building that was dim and had to turn on the lights in broad daylight. I had almost never seen Master Liu in the sun. When I suddenly saw him like this, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Compared with more than a year ago, he is older. There are not many white hairs anymore. They are long, ragged and messy. He is thinner, almost skinny and bones, and the wrinkles on his face are just like that. Like dry land, deep ravines are formed, which is more exaggerated than the dried oranges I thought before!
I thought it was my illusion that he sounded older because of his voice. Unexpectedly, after meeting him, I realized that it was not my illusion.
how so? From the first time my master took me to meet him, to more than a year ago, when he was still trying to save my daughter's life from time to time, I felt that he had not changed much. Now, my daughter can finally live a normal life, but he ... .
I stood by the door, frowning in thought, but Master Liu said, "Don't you want to come in?"
"Oh, come in." I said quickly, and then entered the door.
Inside the door is an extremely luxurious hall, with extravagant colors everywhere. I don't know much about the so-called furniture and furnishings, but even if you don't understand this, you can still feel the extravagant meaning.
But that's not what I care about. All I see is Master Liu walking step by step. Each step may only cover a distance of about centimeters, and it is quite unstable. Just like a small tree in a strong wind, it may fall at any time. Possibility of falling.
No wonder I waited so long to open the door. Is this how he moved out to open the door for me
Thinking like this, I quickly took two steps forward, supported Master Liu, and asked: "Where to go?" This question is not stupid. After all, this is a three-story villa. I don't know which room Master Liu wants to take me to. of.
"On the third floor, my study and bedroom are there." Master Liu told me directly without refusing my help.
I was surprised, third floor? At the same time, there was still an uncontrollable anger in my heart, so I couldn't hold it back and asked Master Liu directly: "It's so inconvenient for you to move, why do you want to live on the third floor? Isn't there a room downstairs?"
Master Liu glanced at me, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, but more of a blame, as if I shouldn't be nosy.
He didn't say anything. After being looked at like this, I was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, so I could only remain silent and almost carried Master Liu up to the third floor with half a hug.
The third floor still retains Master Liu’s study. After entering, I found that except for the floor and walls being cleaner, it was almost the same as before. Master Liu asked me to help him sit down in his old seat, and then I sat opposite him.
"There is no one at home, so I won't make tea for you." When he said this, Master Liu licked his lips. In fact, I didn't have to drink tea, but I felt that he wanted to drink tea, so he stood up and asked : "Where are the tea leaves and cups? I'm going to the bar. I happen to be thirsty. I can make enough food and clothing myself."
Master Liu glanced at me gratefully, but still didn't say anything. He just kept it quiet.
A somewhat sad feeling rose in my heart. Master Liu didn't say it, but it didn't mean that I didn't feel it, but how could I say more about this kind of thing
After all, he is a strong person, otherwise he would not have been able to support himself for so many decades with his daughter who could die at any time. He is grateful to me because I did not tell him that he wanted to drink tea because I was thirsty. , there is no way to embarrass.
The sun shines in the house, illuminating the steam rising from the hot tea, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of tea.
I opened my mouth to say something, but found that it was inappropriate to say anything, so I could only sit quietly in the room with Master Liu without saying anything.
"Ha..." Master Liu picked up the tea cup with trembling hands, took a sip of tea, and sighed with contentment. He stared at the sunshine outside the window with half-squinted eyes and suddenly said: "In the past, I hated this. It's sunny, because the little girl can't see the sun, and I also hate it."
"Little girl?" I was surprised.
"My daughter's nickname has become accustomed to her over the years and she can't change it." Master Liu half-leaned on the back of his chair and said with his eyes closed.
I didn't speak and waited for Master Liu's next words.
"My daughter was tired of living in that small building. She said she had never had a good life before, so she wanted to live in the best place. We moved twice, so we just spent most of our savings to buy this place. House of."
I've only lived there for two years, so... I'm a little dazed, but obviously I have no say in how other people's money is spent.
Master Liu seemed to be very lonely, which was in sharp contrast to the reticent person he used to be. Before I could say anything, he continued: "It's good to have moved here. At least I discovered the beauty of sunbathing." I didn’t like the benefits of the sun before, but now I think it’s nice to be in the warm sun.”
"Then let's get more sunshine." As I said that, I stood up and opened the curtains completely, and the room suddenly became bright and sunny.
"Shen Xing is a good girl." Master Liu said quietly.
Standing in front of the window, I stiffened for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Master Liu, your tea is good."
I deliberately changed the topic, but Master Liu just said to himself: "Hello girl, I helped her once, she took care of my diet and daily life very carefully, and she also helped take care of my little girl. She is quiet on weekdays. Reading, she is a good girl."
Master Liu's voice was a little lonely, but I couldn't even force a smile.
"In this world, if there is cause and effect, there must be retribution. Why force to stay if you can't keep it? Even if you force it to stay, it will change the taste. It is better to stand there cutely when you were a child and call daddy. We are both good. , I left the best memories, she didn't have to endure so many years of torture. But, even if I think so, I still can't bear to let her die, I can't bear to let her die." Master Liu's voice that seemed to be talking to himself echoed in the large study room , but I could only pretend not to understand.
"Chengyi, come sit here and talk to me for a while. Are you going to go find Penglai?" Master Liu suddenly opened his eyes.
I quickly sat over and made some general arrangements.
"Can we set off completely later? I want you to take care of the things after my death. It won't be long." Master Liu suddenly turned his head and looked out the window and said to me.
