Miki was depressed by her father's topic, and after Gujo fell asleep that night, she lost sleep looking at the bright moonlight spilling on the balcony. She picked up her phone and hid in the bathroom and called her brother Yoneshan.

The wild people of Huaguo Mountain rest at sunrise and sunset, and they obey the laws of nature very much. Seeing that the moon is out now, Miki estimates that the savages have already fallen asleep, and the phone can be called, but it is estimated that no one will answer.

Who knew that the life of the savages was not as primitive as she imagined, and they also had times when they were full of urban atmosphere. Although it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, the phone did not ring a few times before Yoneyama's voice came.

Miqi was surprised, "Hey, why haven't you slept so late tonight?"

Yoneyama's voice sounded very energetic, "Insomnia." ”

Miqi was even more surprised, "When you still have insomnia?—— are you still my stupid brother?"

Yoneyama on the other end of the phone laughed silently.

"Something on your mind?" Miki asked his brother.

Yoneyama didn't speak for a long time, and finally said a little sullenly, "I don't know why I remembered him." ”

Yoneyama doesn't say who "he" is, and Miki also knows who that "he" is. Yoneyama was still babbling when his father left, and his father had disappeared before he could learn to call him.

Because they didn't have a father, their sisters and brothers were ridiculed and bullied a lot since they were young. Gradually, Yoneyama began to resent the so-called father, and if it weren't for him, their lives wouldn't be as difficult as they are now.

Yoneyama has never expressed his resentment towards his father. But although he didn't say it, as his sister and his closest relative in the world, Miki knew him too well. With a look and an expression on his face, she knew what he was thinking. She knew that her brother had a vague resentment towards their father, but she hadn't stopped it. The younger brother has the right to resent because their father is indeed an irresponsible father.

What man would leave his wife and children behind and disappear into the rainy night without saying a word? This is more than ten years, and there has been no news for more than ten years. Whether it is life or death, whether it is a human or a ghost, no one knows at all.

Miki was sure that her dad didn't love them, she hated his unlove, but that was when she was very young. After she sent away a few of her closest relatives, and even walked through the ghost gate herself, she was a little more tolerant of the world.

He doesn't love them, so what, what can he do. It is indeed a natural instinct for parents to love their children, but not every parent in this world has this nature. The human instinct is to love himself, and if he follows the human instinct and loves himself more than his wife and children, it is also his nature, his instinct.

Why is it wrong for animals to live according to their own instincts? We can say that this instinct is selfish, but which of all the people living in this world is not selfish?

Miki has long let go of his obsession with him, but his brother has never been able to dispel the resentment in his heart.

The moonlight was bright, and the moon she and her father saw under the trellis that year should have been so bright.

Through the long radio waves, the siblings fell silent.

Yoneyama finally broke the silence when he asked his sister a question, "Is his name Mifusheng?"

Miki was shocked.

Back then, the man suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, leaving behind not only a pair of ignorant children, but also a wife who was in pain.

Miqi and Mishan's mother, Li Suling, who was only thirty years old at the time. I can't bear the reality of my husband's runaway, so I rely on alcohol to anesthetize myself every day. That person and everything about that person gradually became a taboo in this family, and once she mentioned it, she couldn't help but want to cry hysterically. After several years of such a nightmare, she finally met someone. She was hurt by love, but in the end she was redeemed by love.

When her mother remarried, Miki was sixteen years old. At the humble wedding, the mother in a simple white dress smiled softly. The crow's feet at the corners of the eyes loom bright, and they are the crow's feet of happiness. She was surprised to see happiness in this miserable woman.

After the wedding, in the cozy little room of my uncle's house, my mother took out a photo. It was a black-and-white portrait of a man, a young man with clear eyebrows, and a little coldness and detachment in his eyes.

"This is a picture of your dad when he was younger. Li Suling said softly, her tone was still a little nostalgic, "He doesn't like to take pictures, this is the only photo he has." ”

As she spoke, she took Miki's hand and put the photo in her daughter's hand.

"I don't need it anymore, you can take it. ”

Miki stared at the fragile piece of paper, gently rubbing the surface with her fingertips. Dad was very young when he left, and he was still vaguely the face in the photo. Turn the photo over, and write the three words Mi Fusheng on the back in Junxiu small letters.

"Rice, floating, raw. ”

She read it aloud.

If it weren't for this picture, she wouldn't even know what her father's name was. When her father left, she and her younger brother Yoneyama were too young to have many memories of him in their minds. Yoneyama did not attend his mother's wedding, and he was a delinquent teenager at that time, wandering Internet cafes and streets every day. It was only a month later that he learned that his mother was married.

When Miki told him the news, Yoneyama's expression was actually relieved.

"Great. The younger brother was still smiling, "She won't cry now." ”

In the dead of night, I can often hear my mother whimpering. When they were children, the siblings often felt scared and uneasy about this sorrow, but when they grew up, they were only full of distress.

"Mom gave me a picture of my dad, do you want to see it?" Miki said as if offering a treasure.

Yoneyama retracted his smile violently, "Don't look, what is so good about that kind of man." ”

Miki couldn't help him, and said, "Then you want to know what Daddy's name is?"

Mishan stiffened his neck and said in a very impulsive tone, "Don't look at it." And if you mention him again, I'll leave now. ”

Before Miqi could speak, Ah Xing, who came to the door, stretched out his long legs and kicked Miyama from behind.

"Little rabbit, how can you talk to your sister? ”

......

Yoneyama originally didn't know the name of that person, and if he knew it now, someone must have told him, so who was this person?

“...... Mom told you?" Miki said tentatively.

"Not Mom. ”

Miki heard her heart pounding, "Who's that?"

Yoneyama took a deep breath, "—it's himself. ”

Miqi's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, her face full of disbelief.

"Y-What did you say?"

"I said, Mi Fusheng himself told me. ”

Miki struggled to digest the sentence, and she even began to stutter when she spoke, "You mean to say, Daddy, he's gone to find you?"

Mishan's tone sounded calm, "Today, a person named Mi Fusheng came to me and said that he was my father. His calm voice sounded a little ruthless, "But you know, I only have a mother and a sister in this world, and I don't have a father." ”

Miki's vision blurred, "Did he really come looking for you?"

"Yes, that's him. ”

After a moment of silence, Mishan's voice suddenly became softer, "Sister, I know you miss him very much. He is now in Huaguo Mountain, living in the Cicada Temple. If you want to see him, come here. He is like a cloud in the sky, and he may float away one day. ”

That night, Miki finally couldn't fall asleep. She looked at the moon, at the clouds around her, at the twinkling stars, and finally at the sun that was about to be born.

In the early morning, Gu Huo was woken up by the alarm clock, and suddenly saw her looking out the window with her arms crossed, her eyes empty, and even her movements and expression were stagnant.

He sat up, hugged her in his arms, and asked softly, "Something on your mind?"

Miki took the opportunity to pill his head in his arms, "I called Yoneyama last night, and he said that Dad went to look for him. ”

Gu Huo looked at her blue and black eyes, and said a little reproachfully, "Just because I didn't sleep all night?"

Miki nodded a little weakly.

Except for liking to drink two sips of wine, Gu Huo has no other bad habits. He loves fitness, insists on boxing, goes to bed early and gets up early, and lives a particularly healthy young man. Since Miqi lived with him, in order to match his positive little life, he forcibly changed the problem of staying up late playing with his mobile phone. In Gu Huo's eyes, staying up late is equivalent to chronic suicide, and staying awake all night is equivalent to acute suicide.

Miki thought she was going to be scolded, but Gu Huo stopped and told her not to stay up late next time and let her go.

"It's a good thing that your dad is back. He looked down at Miki in his arms, happy for her. "Yesterday I was worried about not having a father, and today my father ran out, do you think this is a wish?"

Miki frowned, looking a little annoyed. "But we haven't seen each other for so many years, and it should be awkward to meet at first glance. ”

Gu Huo said with a big grin, "Embarrassment is embarrassment, and it is normal to be embarrassed." ”

Miki thought for a moment, then looked up at Gu Huo, and from this angle she could see his chin, which had grown a little bit of stubble overnight. Her hand touched his chin, a tingling on the tip of her fingers.

"So you mean I should still go and meet him?"

"Of course. Gu Huo bit her finger lightly and said vaguely, "If you don't see it, you won't let go of it in this life." When we met, no matter whether the result was good or bad, it was finally a matter of heart. ”

Miki was amazed, "I found you very deep this morning, as if you were a philosopher. ”

Guho yawned, "Twenty-four hours a day, I'm only awake in the morning when I just get up. In the future, you must discuss with me in the morning if there is a big matter at home, otherwise I will give the wrong decision. ”

"Is that so? Miki squinted at him, "I thought you were simple-minded and well-limbed, but I didn't expect you to be such a complex animal. ”

Gu Huo raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, are you afraid of loving me?"

The two of them played around in bed for a while before getting up and washing, and the breakfast at home had already been contracted by Gu Huo. While he was cooking, Miki called Yoneyama.

"Dashan, is Dad still in Cicada Temple?"

Yoneyama replied yes.

"Then I want to see him these days, do you think it's okay?"

"If you can't see anything, you can see it. ”

After saying goodbye to her brother, Miki called her mother again, who had not been in touch for a long time.

After remarrying, her mother moved out of the dark old house and moved in with her uncle. They have children of their own and a new life. As a last resort, Miki won't bother her with those painful pasts.

Speaking of which, Miqi was only sixteen years old when her mother moved out of the house, and Mishan was even younger, but because Ah Xing helped take care of her, her daily life was quite passable.

In fact, Ah Xing strongly opposed his mother's marriage and moving out at the time, but Miqi and Mishan did not object, and they even agreed. In the growth of the Mi family siblings, the role of mother has always been missing. Of course they have moms, but their moms don't act like an elder, but a bit of a neurotic older sister. The three of them took care of each other and supported each other for more than ten years.

So they don't think that their mothers have an obligation to take care of their siblings, especially when they are already able to take care of themselves. And who wants to see a sad face at home all day long, if the mother can marry happily, it will also be a relief for their sister and brother.
