Jin Shiyu looked at the unfamiliar number, and for some reason, he always felt that if he answered this call, his life would change drastically. Taking a deep breath, he relieved the phone:

"Hello, is this Mr. Jin Shiyu?" Jin Shiyu was slightly disappointed, because he had heard this voice several times, and it was the editor who was urging him to rush the manuscript every day.

"It's me. ”

"Mr. Jin, I'm your editor, I recently changed my number, and this is my new number. ”

"Okay, I see, is there anything else?"

"Our website is doing an event recently, it is an offline author seminar, I want to ask you if you are interested, if you are interested, you can come to our side to participate, after the event can be signed offline, the remuneration will be much higher than online writing. ”

"In which city is the event held?"

"The event was in a week later at our provincial headquarters, Dalian City. ”

"Okay, I'll get back to you in a few days. ”

Hanging up the phone, Jin Shiyu had to admit that his thoughts had been indulged in his father's last words:

"Shi Yu, remember, never look for me!"

Why should I never look for him? Is there any reason for her to leave in the first place?

Something suddenly came to mind. Jin Shiyu hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Fatzi's number.

"Fatty, where are you? Is your dad at home? Okay, I'll go to your house now. ”

Simply washed his face, picked up a hat and put it on his head to save the time of washing his hair, went out to take a taxi, and went straight to the fat man's house. At the door of the fat man's house, Jin Shiyu happened to meet Jiang Xiaomei who came back from shopping, said hello simply, and followed Jiang Xiaomei, who opened the door, into the fat man's house.

The fat man is playing chess with his father, don't look at the fat man's usual stupidity, the level of chess is really not ordinary. Seeing Jin Shiyu, the fat man got up and frowned slightly and said:

"Shi Yu, what's wrong, I heard that you were very anxious on the phone, did you encounter something?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask my uncle something. ”

The fat man's father heard the conversation between the two, put down the chess in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Jin Shiyu suspiciously.

"Uncle, when we were young, did you and my dad drink a few times?"

The fat man's father replied directly without hesitation:

"Yes, you were only four or five years old at that time, and your father would sometimes pull me to drink some wine, always saying that the relationship between the two children was so good, and we adults should also exchange feelings or something. ”

"Uncle, you know, after my mother died, my father left, can you guess where he went?"

"He never said this, he surrounded you and your mother every day at that time, who would have thought that suddenly people would disappear, alas!"

Jin Shiyu instantly felt that all his hopes were shattered, and this feeling was even more stinging than the cynicism of those so-called family members.

The fat man, seeing his good brother's disappointed expression, turned his head and said:

"Dad, think about it carefully, Uncle Jin didn't say where he wanted to travel or see the scenery or anything?"

The fat man's father propped up his chin with his hand, stroked it, and raised his head suddenly,

"Your father didn't say where he wanted to travel, but when I was drinking, I once asked your father, why don't you have any brothers and sisters, your father said that he is a single seedling, but there are so many good brothers, he didn't say the name, but I remember he said that there is a brother in Dalian, the family has a big business, quite rich. ”

Jin Shiyu silently recited in his mouth: "Dalian, Dalian....."

"Uncle, thank you, I'll go first. ”

With that, he turned and walked to the door, pushed the door and left.

Leaving the three Jiang family members with blank faces, the fat man suddenly reacted to something and said:

"Dad, I'll go to Shiyu's house. ”

The fat man's father nodded: "This kid is not easy, I guess I miss his parents, and I have been going to accompany him more recently." ”

Jin Shiyu, who returned home, didn't have the idea of turning on the computer to write at all, sitting on the sofa, staring at the chandelier above his head in a daze. He didn't know what happened last night, but the memory of last night really touched him deeply, and he wanted to find his father and ask him why he was not there when his mother had an accident, why he left him again, leaving him alone, a seven-year-old child, to face the world alone.

The doorbell remembered that the voices of Dahua and the fat man came from outside the door, Jin Shiyu did not open the door immediately, but walked to the bathroom, washed away the tears that flowed out of nowhere, and then dried them with a towel, until it looked like the same as usual, and then went to open the door.

After all, there is still softness in his heart that he doesn't want others to see.

The door opened, Dahua and the fat man changed their slippers, two people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Dahua spoke:

"Shi Yu, I heard the fat man say, you are asking about your father. ”

Jin Shiyu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said:

"You two don't have to be so restrained, I'm not as fragile as you think, I just suddenly want to try, see if I can find him, it doesn't matter if I can't find him, I've been here for twenty years, and it's good to be alone. ”

Dahua and the fat man glanced at each other, and the fat man said:

"My dad said, your dad has a good brother in Dalian, what are you going to do?"

Jin Shiyu's hand kept playing the cigarette ash, maybe it was too hard, maybe it was because his mind was not on the cigarette, and most of the cigarette cartridges were extinguished, he looked at the remaining half of the cigarette in his elbow, picked up the lighter, and re-lit:

"I'm alone, I can continue to write novels anywhere, and today the editor of the website called me and said that I should go to Dalian to be an offline writer, and I plan to leave in a few days and go to Dailian. ”

The fat man stood up and said:

"What do you mean to be alone? What are Dahua and I?"

Dahua lowered his head as if weighing something, and after a moment of silence, Dahua pulled the fat man to sit down, and said:

"Shi Yu, if you go to the Great Alliance, I will go to the Great Alliance!"

The tone is so affirmative. The fat man is afraid of falling behind:

"I'll go with you too, good brother wants you to be there, we will accompany you!"

"Actually...... I'll just go by myself, you all have your parents here, and you're gone, what will happen to your parents?"

Dahua's two fists collided in front of his chest, who:

"You don't care about that, we will go home now and prepare, waiting for your news at any time. ”

After that, without waiting for Jin Shiyu to respond, he pulled the fat man and left directly.

A cigarette had just been smoked, looking at the remaining cigarette butts, and then looking at the position where Dahua and the fat man were sitting on the sofa just now, trying to control the instinctive reaction in their eyes, and for the first time in their lives, they had a satisfied sense of happiness.

Jin Shiyu didn't rush the manuscript tonight, he slept very early, and the snoring gradually sounded, stable and comfortable.

It's just that he still doesn't understand how many lives and deaths will be accompanied by fate......
