Chapter 10 Back to the alley
The wind cut through me like a blade from the bottom up, the strong wind brushed my cheeks, and my heart went to my throat, it was one of the craziest things I've ever done in my life.
Jump bridge.
I literally jumped off the 6-meter high viaduct, and at that moment, I felt the whole world rising and the earth getting closer and closer to me!
I fixed my gaze, and then, just when I thought I was going to fall forever, my feet landed firmly on something that wasn't too hard or too soft.
There was a loud bang on the ground.
I landed on one knee in the van.
Steady.
No head hit the ground first, and no fall.
Just like when Spider-Man jumps from a high altitude, steady.
Nothing...... I'm fine!
Although my foot hurt for a moment because of the impact, but in general I was fine, I had neither a broken bone nor a broken leg, except for a little pain in my foot because of the impact, I played well!
"I'm fine! I'm fine!" I cried out in ecstasy, almost laughing, but soon I realized that the roof of the car I was in had sunk because of the force of the ride, and besides, because of the impact of the jump, the phone in my pocket had also fallen out of the air, smashed to the ground, and smashed into pieces on the road. I tilted my head slightly, staring blankly at the broken phone on the ground, feeling a sense of loss. The phone is broken, which means ...... I can't contact Master Blue Moon anymore. He said I only had three chances to contact him and ask him for help. I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to contact him again.
I lost my mind for a moment because of the broken phone, and then I realized that I didn't have time to be stunned by the broken phone, because when I turned around, I saw that the silver sports car in front of me was very close to me.
Only 100 meters away.
I'll be able to catch up with Xueqi.
However, on this short 100-meter road, there are countless cars blocked by water, and the gap between the cars is not even enough for me to pass alone.
Looking at the continuous crowd of cars in front of me, I took a deep breath, pulled up my aching legs, and ran wildly again, and then, I did something even crazier!
I leaped from car to car roof, jumping, walking, racing, like a thrilling shot in a kung fu movie, jumping on top of the car as if I were participating in an obstacle course.
A car...... Two cars......
Vans, taxis, private cars, luxury cars......
All the cars were trampled under my feet, at this moment I trampled on all the rules, there are no rules in my heart, I have no fear at all when I come out of the ghost gate, even the test of life and death has been experienced, what am I afraid of?
I didn't think about the feelings of the owners of the cars I trampled on, nor did I think about how many traffic rules I violated along the way, for me, there were no rules.
I jumped over the roofs of one car after another, and finally, when I jumped out of a taxi, the silver sports car was finally in front of me!
8877, this time, absolutely yes!
I held my breath and rushed to the driver's seat of the silver sports car.
"Open the door for me!!"
I punched the driver's window, which was blackout and I couldn't see what was inside, but at that moment, I was really desperate.
"Do you *** open it?!Don't think I can't kick your broken door!" I punched and punched the window, and in the end, I bent my elbow and slammed the window hard, and then, I kicked the door hard with my foot, using all my strength.
Bump! Bump!
Under my most violent impact, the driver's window finally rolled down slowly, and then, I saw Ma Bailong's delicate and handsome, but bitter and hesitant face appeared in the window.
"Mr. Yang, please don't kick it, okay?" Ma Bailong was behind the car window, facing me with a solemn face, but his tone was with a hint of comfort.
"Mr. Yang, let's talk. ”
"Talk about you sister!!"
I put my hand directly into the car window, and then choked Ma Bailong's snow-white neck, I pinched him tightly, almost wanted to strangle him to death, suffocate him, I know, it was he who took away my Xueqi, it was the man in front of me!
However, when I grabbed him by the neck, Ma Bailong did not resist at all, he just looked at me with a calm and apologetic face:
Mr. Yang...... Please don't do that...... Don't hurt Xue anymore...... You've ...... Hurt her deep enough...... I beg you......"
"......" I choked Ma Bailong's neck, but Ma Bailong's actions surprised me.
Even if I choked my neck, Ma Bailong actually interceded for Xueqi?
I stared at Ma Bailong deadly, pinching him without saying a word, looking at his face, his face was not disgusting, on the contrary, it was a very handsome face, even a man couldn't find a flawed face when he saw it.
I stared at Ma Bailong, and Ma Bailong was also painfully choked by my neck, squinting at me, and his face was a little red because he was out of breath.
It stands to reason that at this point, Xue Qi should have said a few words, but why, at this point, Xue Qi still has no voice?
Suddenly I felt that something was not right, and I poked my head into Ma Bailong's car, and then I was shocked.
There was no snow in the car at all.
The back seat of the car was empty.
Xue Qi has long since left.
At that time, I was shocked again, I was so shocked that I couldn't think that even though I jumped off the bridge, I still couldn't catch up with Xueqi?
"Where is Qiqi?" I pinched Ma Bailong's neck and shook him violently, because I was pushing too hard, and Ma Bailong's expression became more and more painful.
Mr. Yang...... It's okay if you kill me...... Please...... Don't hurt Ayuki...... Don't kill her......"
I don't know why Ma Bailong said this, and then I suddenly thought that the explosion in the church just now happened almost at the same time as my intrusion, I am afraid that Ma Bailong is treating me as a terrorist who hates out of love. He thought I was chasing them, so he ran away!
But it was precisely because I realized this that I was even more shocked.
Because I couldn't imagine that even if he was already dying, Ma Bailong still thought about Xueqi and still wanted Xueqi to go first.
I really can't think of it.
It turns out that Ma Bailong really loves Xueqi so much.
Ma Bailong's intermittent words were like needles stuck in my chest.
The flame of anger and jealousy in my heart was extinguished at this moment like a basin of cold water.
"I don't want to kill you, you tell me clearly, where is Qiqi?" Realizing that my movements were too aggressive, I calmed down a little, pinched Ma Bailong's neck, and asked hoarsely.
"I ...... I don't know...... Mr. Yang...... Please ...... Calm down...... We...... Let's talk about it...... "Ma Bailong had difficulty panting, but he still spit out words.
My chest heaved violently, but it seemed that Ma Bailong was indeed dead and refused to tell me where Xueqi was.
"Calm down!" I let go of the hand on Ma Bailong's neck, and then, I raised my fist and punched Ma Bailong's face hard, Ma Bailong was punched by me and lay on his back, I don't know if he had an accident.
I took a few steps back, but my mind was thinking about where Xue Qi would go. Ma Bailong's car and I missed it just a few minutes, Xue Qi should have gotten off in those few minutes, it shouldn't be too far, and Xue Qi is wearing a wedding dress, which is both conspicuous and can't run fast, I can definitely find her!
Thinking of this, I looked back and tried to return the way I came, but when I saw a large number of angry car owners rushing towards me from the car behind me, I realized that it was impossible for me to go back the way I came.
A large number of car owners rushed towards me, and I had no choice but to run and run towards the road ahead!
I ran sideways in the slit on the left side of the road, and after less than a minute of hard squeezing, I finally ran out of 100 meters and ran into a block, but I didn't know where Xueqi was, fortunately, I was familiar with the roads in this area, so I had to turn from a small road in the block, and then run again in the direction where Ma Bailong came, I thought that as long as I ran in this direction, I would definitely be able to meet Xueqi!
Sure enough, before I could run a few steps, I saw Xue Qi, who was holding a white wedding dress and standing in front of me looking at me in horror!
She stood at the intersection ahead of me and looked at me, staring blankly.
Apparently, she had been watching me there for a long time, and she should have seen me jumping down from the viaduct just now.
She is less than a hundred meters away from me!
"Qiqi!" I shouted anxiously when I saw Xueqi standing at the end of the road in front of me at a loss, and then I quickened my pace and ran.
Xue Qi stood there with some hesitation and looked at me for a while, and I saw that her gaze was also a little struggling, but after I ran more than ten meters, she actually turned around and ran again!
"Qiqi, don't run away!
I shouted, and when I saw Xue Qi running, I had no choice but to keep chasing!
Xue Qi didn't run slowly, and while running, she actually turned around and shouted at me:
"Dad, don't come here...... Father...... Please don't come here!"
There was pleading and sadness in his eyes.
Seeing Xue Qi's sad eyes, my heart became more and more painful, and I was finally about to catch up with Xue Qi, but my heart was getting colder and colder.
Xue Qi ran wildly with the corner of her skirt, and soon, she ran to the end of the road in front of her, where there was a small dam, Xue Qi ran up the stairs, and I also chased after it.
However, when I chased under the dam, I was stunned.
Because Xue Qi actually ran to the small river bank in front of the small dam, and there was actually a yacht docked on the river bank! There were two adults and a pilot sitting on the yacht, and it seemed that they were about to set off from the shore.
I had just run down the steps of the dam, but Xue Qi had already run to the riverbank, she looked at me deeply, and then she suddenly turned around and jumped on the yacht!
Xue Qi jumped on the yacht and startled the people on the yacht, but Xue Qi said anxiously to the people on the yacht:
"Please, send me to the other side, there is ...... Someone is chasing me......"
The driver on the yacht was also shocked when he saw Xue Qi in a wedding dress and chased after me in embarrassment, but in the end he still complied with Xue Qi's request and sailed towards the other side of the river with Xue Qi!
Just two meters from the shore, I rushed to the shore and stood on the shore and watched Xueqi standing on the yacht, wearing a white wedding dress, looking at me with sadness and helplessness written on her face.
At that moment, the snow on the yacht was so beautiful and beautiful.
The long waves rippled, and the yacht pulled out a long transparent tail on the surface of the water and headed towards the opposite shore.
And I, on the other hand, could only gasp and stand weakly on the shore, staring blankly at Xue Qi leaving me.
I could only watch Xue Qi get farther and farther away from me...... Farther and farther away......
"Dad, I'm sorry...... Dad, I love Ma Bailong...... Please go back, find your lover, and when you get married, I will come back!"
Standing on the yacht, Xueqi had tears in her eyes, her hands were clenched into horns, and she shouted to me a voice that made me heartbreaking.
At that moment, my heart fell like an ice cellar.
"Then Qiqi, don't go! Come back and tell me no?!" I shouted to Xueqi, but by that time Xueqi was almost on the other side of the river, and she could barely hear me.
Looking at the slim white holy girl on the water, my heart was dripping blood.
Xue Qi still loves Ma Bailong, who is the same age as her, after all.
After all, she just wants to think of me as her father.
I clenched my fists so tightly that my fingernails were almost carved into the flesh, and the corners of my eyes began to flash with a hint of wetness.
Don't...... Is that the end of it?
My dreams, my youth, my love, and the stories that make me unforgettable?
Mr. Yang...... Don't give up until the end comes......"
Although my phone had been dropped, at that moment, my mind was recalling the words of Master Blue Moon.
Maybe it was because my brain was too fluctuating, and at that moment, countless words and images flashed through my mind, but only the words of Master Blue Moon were the clearest.
Mr. Yang...... Do you dare to dance once for the one you love the most?"
Although I am afraid that I will never hear the voice of Master Blue Moon again in my life, his voice has been deeply engraved in my heart.
Jump once...... And what?!
At that time, my blood was so hot that it almost broke through my brain.
I jerked off my jacket and did something even crazier than jumping off a bridge!
I jumped into the water!
Since you've gone crazy once, let's go crazy to the end!
At that time, I didn't think about it that much, I only had the girl who was getting farther and farther away from me, and nothing else.
It wasn't the first time in my life that I jumped into the winter water, but it was definitely the fastest I swam in!
I frantically swam towards the yacht where Xue Qi was gone, and the white water splashed on the surface of the water and bloomed one white snow lotus after another!
Xueqi, who was standing far away on the yacht, saw my crazy move and screamed in fright.
"Daddy, don't do this!
I heard Xue Qi's almost crying voice, but my eyes were just looking ahead, and then swimming desperately!
My swimming skills are not bad, I taught her to swim at the beginning, of course I can swim myself, although I am wearing pants and underwear, but my movements are still not slow!
"Daddy, please! Don't come here! Don't do this!" Xue Qi cried to me, she had reached the river, and I was still swimming wildly in the river!
"Qiqi, Dad will definitely catch up with you! Even if you run well, if you run to the ends of the earth, I will also catch you!" I shouted as I swam.
Hearing my shout, I saw Xue Qi covering her face on the shore and crying, but I still did not slow down, but accelerated to swim over, almost a minute, I finally swam to the opposite shore, at that time, my body was almost paralyzed, and Xue Qi was also on the shore, more than ten meters away from me, looking at me blankly, with crystal tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Qiqi ......" I gasped and slowly climbed up the riverbank, the wet water fell from my hair, clothes, and pants, and I was like a terrible demon crawling out of the water, except for Xueqi, all the onlookers present were shocked by me. I stood up, gasping for breath, and walked towards Xue Qi in front of me step by step.
"Daddy...... You don't want that...... Father...... Enough is enough......" Xue Qi stood in front of me with red eyes, and she cried.
I laughed.
"Look, I'm still chasing you. ”
Although my whole body was cold, although my whole body was paralyzed and I could barely move, I still squeezed out a smile at Xue Qi.
Seeing my smile, Xueqi cried even more.
"I'm sorry, Dad...... You go back...... I've already decided...... Daddy, I'm sorry...... I can't delay your marriage......" As she spoke, Xue Qi's tearful face actually became resolute again, and then, she was ruthless, turned around again, and then ran forward!
I watched in disbelief as Xue Qi ran away, and at that moment, my heart was broken.
I've gotten to this point, won't she forgive me, the father who hurt her?
Although I was paralyzed and soaked, and I was shivering when the wind blew on me, I was trembling, but looking at Xue Qi's figure running away, I ran after her figure again, and for the last time!
This is the last chase, the last chase!
Because of the stiffness of my body, I didn't run fast, but I followed Xueqi's pace all the way and was not thrown away by her.
It wasn't until that moment that I realized that I was really old, and I didn't run as fast as I did 10 years ago, when I was young, I always laughed at Xueqi for running slowly, but now, I found that I couldn't run much faster.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered how many years ago, when Xue Qi was young, she also ran after me, at that time, I was full of physical strength, walking like flying, Xue Qi, a little girl, couldn't catch up with me at all, I could only be left behind my ass and watched me run away in disappointment, and threw her away......
……
"Papa, wait for me!" the little girl jogged behind me with frustration written on her face. At that time, Xueqi was not called Xueqi, she had another equally nice name, called Jiaqi.
"Kiki, come and chase Dad, you can't chase, you can't chase, haha. I laughed and turned around to laugh at Jiaqi for running slowly.
"I can't run, Papa......" Jiaqi cried and stopped, standing there looking at me.
"Kiki stupid, you can't run, if you don't chase Papa, Papa will leave you here. I stopped, looked at Jiaqi behind me, crossed my waist, and laughed.
"Hmm...... Papa Bad Guy ...... "At that time, Jiaqi saw that I was going to leave her, and suddenly cried in fear.
And seeing that the little girl was scared and cried, I had to smile wryly and shake my head, and then walked in front of her step by step, stretched out my hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Silly girl, how could Papa leave you, Papa has always been with you. I smiled and whispered to Jiaqi.
"Papa......" Jiaqi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head, and looked at me with a sparkling gaze.
Jiaqi threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly, and I was also holding her petite body, and my heart was warm.
"Papa, don't leave me, okay?"
"Don't be afraid, Kiki, Papa won't leave your ...... Papa will always be with you. ”
At that moment, we hugged each other tightly.
Feel the warmth of each other.
We are so happy, so happy.
It's just that...... That was 15 years ago.
Now that I think about it, it's really far away.
……
Still, I ran, if only to catch up with her, to talk to her, to support my broken, exhausted body, and chase her for such a simple belief.
I followed the angelic white figure all the way through the playground, through the block, through the commissary......
Xue Qi kept running, and I chased all the way, and there were a few times when I was about to catch up with her, but a car came in and blocked my way......
Again and again, again and again......
It's like a constant barrier between me and Xueqi......
Passers-by all looked at Xue Qi and me with strange eyes, one was wearing a wedding dress, the other was soaking wet, thinking we were crazy, but I didn't care about the world's gaze, just like I didn't care about the world's gaze over the years and adopted Xueqi.
Xue Qi's figure is sometimes big and small, sometimes far and sometimes near, and the soft white skirt dances in the wind, like a snow lotus flower blooming in the cold wax moon. Because she ran too fast, Xue Qi's headscarf also fell off, and her long black shiny hair spread out in the wind, wisps, like a spring rain curtain, and like the willow silk fluttering in the wind.
At that moment, Xueqi was so beautiful running, but I was so embarrassed.
Looking at Xueqi's back when she was big and small, I seemed to see countless Xueqi running in front of me.
Xue Qi, who wore pants and staggered when she was three years old......
When she was six years old, she wore a suspendron and was lively and active......
When he was eight years old, he went to elementary school, and he was bouncing and jumping......
Xueqi, who recovered from a serious illness at the age of twelve, went to middle school......
Xueqi, who escaped from home at the age of fourteen......
Sixteen-year-old young girl, pure and touching Xueqi......
The eighteen-year-old Xue Qi is charming, and the peerless Xue Qi ......
Countless Xueqi swayed in front of me, Xueqi when I was a child, Xueqi in childhood, Xueqi in adolescence, every Xueqi is so beautiful, so cute and innocent, like an angel who has always been by my side.
The heroic postures of countless Xueqi are staggered and changed, overlapping together, and becoming the Xueqi in front of me.
Before you know it, it's already dark, and night has already fallen.
I gasped for breath and dragged my cold and stiff body after Xueqi......
I turned street after street, and I didn't know where I was running or where I was.
I only know that at the end, in a dark place, Xue Qi stopped.
I also stopped.
At that time, I was so tired that I didn't even have the strength to take an extra step.
"Qiqi, don't run away...... Daddy won't chase you anymore......" I supported a wall on the left with my hand, gasped, raised my head, and looked at Xue Qi five meters in front of me.
"Daddy just said a few words to you, okay?" I raised my head weakly, wiped a handful of water droplets from my forehead, looked at Xue Qi in front of me, and said in an almost pleading tone.
Hearing my words, Xue Qi was also stunned.
She stood there quietly, panting and looking at me with endless hesitation and struggle in her eyes.
But in the end, she didn't run again, but stood still, silent, looking at me.
In the darkness, I saw Xueqi's shining eyes.
Eventually, Xue Qi seemed to realize that I wouldn't be chasing her anymore, so she walked towards me step by step.
All the way to me.
At that moment, looking at Xue Qi who came over, I found that I no longer felt excited, and my heart was actually calm.
I realized that the girl in front of me was really just my daughter.
She's really just a little girl, an ignorant little girl, and I, she's her dad.
At that moment, I actually figured it out.
Obviously, I have already chased here, and I have made up my mind to chase Xueqi at the beginning, but at this moment, I found that my blood was cold, and my restless heart had calmed down.
I'm really old.
The old one is only worthy of being Xueqi's father.
Or is, in the first place.
"Daddy......" Xue Qi lowered her head and called me softly, watching her walk in front of me, I smiled with relief.
"Huh, Dad is really old, I didn't expect even you to catch up. I smiled wryly, and then, my gaze fell on the ground beside me, and I saw a crossbar placed under the corner of the wall.
"Let's sit with Daddy for a while. I smiled at Xue Qi, and then walked over to the crossbar and sat down.
Seeing that I really didn't plan to chase her, Xue Qi didn't run away after all, she let down her guard against me, and then, step by step, walked next to me, and then sat down next to the crosswood. Xue Qi sat next to me, less than half a meter away from me.
I gasped for breath, but I didn't know what to say in my head, because I was so tired from running that I had to take a breath.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and Xueqi also sat next to me in silence, and for a while, neither of us spoke.
Obviously, I have a thousand words to say along the way, but now that Xueqi is by my side, I can't speak.
My tired gaze scanned the dark space around me.
I don't know why, but the more I look at the scenery around me, the more familiar it feels.
An indescribable sense of familiarity permeated me.
I think I've been here before......
I suddenly had this strange feeling.
Strange, where the hell is this?
I looked around in some amazement, only to find myself in a dark alley, the alley was very narrow, narrow enough for only two or three people to walk through.
Then, gradually, my brain cleared up.
I remember.
Here it is.
Although all the houses in the neighborhood have been built into apartments more than ten years ago, only this alley has been preserved.
That's right.
Here it is.
This is the alley where I first picked up Xueqi.
It's also where all stories begin.
