Chapter 131: I Am Your Father (Part II)
Zhang Xinsheng's immature face was full of doubts, his tears were still hanging on his little face, although he stopped crying, his voice was still choking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Second uncle, where has my dad gone, and when will he come back?"
Ding Fengjun couldn't hide the sadness in his heart, he didn't look over, for fear that Zhang Xinsheng would see him crying, and the sound of whimpering sounded from Ding Fengjun's throat.
"He'll never come back."
Zhang Xinsheng shook his head and said in disbelief: "No, my father won't leave me, he said he would come back." ”
Ding Fengjun couldn't help it, and hugged Zhang Xinsheng into his arms, Zhang Xinsheng cried: "Second uncle, didn't you say that you wanted to protect your father, didn't you promise me to bring my father back?" Why did you come back, but he didn't. ”
Ding Fengjun's heart hurt badly, he knew that he should come sooner or later, in the face of Zhang Xinsheng's questioning, Ding Fengjun was speechless, on the way back, Ding Fengjun also thought about how to answer all Zhang Xinsheng's questions, after all, Zhang Xinsheng is just a three-year-old child, he doesn't know the world, just make up a few lies to prevaricate in the past, and he will slowly forget after a long time, but because he is just a child, how can Ding Fengjun bear to deceive him.
Ding Fengjun pushed Zhang Xinsheng out of his arms again, and he said to Zhang Xinsheng seriously: "Child, you remember, what is gone is gone, you have to learn to accept and learn to be strong, from today I will be your father, I will take full responsibility for your father's death!" ”
How could Zhang Xinsheng understand Ding Fengjun's words, he broke free of Ding Fengjun's hands, stretched out his hand and pointed at Ding Fengjun and cried: "I don't believe you anymore, you are a big liar, you said that you want to help me take care of my father, but he left, but you yourself came back, I don't believe you anymore, big liar!" ”
Ding Fengjun's heart was like a knife, he reached out to hug Zhang Xinsheng, but Zhang Xinsheng retreated timidly, his little eyes were full of hatred that should not have been his age, and the chill in his eyes made Ding Fengjun feel cold.
"Freshman, come here." Ding Fengjun tentatively greeted Zhang Xinsheng, but Zhang Xinsheng didn't pay attention, he turned his head and ran out of the cave, Ding Fengjun wanted to chase, but was pulled by Zhang Tiedan.
"Second brother, don't chase after me, I'll go."
After speaking, Zhang Tiedan patted Ding Fengjun's shoulder, and then walked out with his feet raised.
"Freshman, what are you doing?" Zhang Tiedan came out of the cave and saw Zhang Xinsheng sitting under a tree in front of the kiln in a daze, Zhang Xinsheng held his chin with both hands, and said cautiously: "Silly uncle, why do you say that Dad doesn't want me anymore, is it that I am too disobedient to make him angry, so he left me here and didn't want me." ”
Zhang Tiedan sat next to Zhang Xinsheng, he smiled and said: "Xinsheng is the most well-behaved child in the world, how could Dad be willing to leave you, he is just tired and wants to rest well." ”
"Is he really tired? Then why didn't he tell me? ”
"Because he loves you too much and doesn't want you to worry."
"Will he come back when he wakes up?"
"Do you remember what I once told you, people don't come back when they're gone."
"What if I miss him?"
"Then you look for the brightest star at night, and that's your dad."
Zhang Xinsheng blinked, tilted his head and said, "But I will also miss him during the day, so what should I do?" ”
Zhang Tiedan touched Zhang Xinsheng's head and said with a smile: "Don't you still have your second uncle, he will take good care of you, with him, you won't miss your father too much." ”
"No, he's a liar, I hate him, I don't want to see him again." Zhang Xinsheng looked angry and said with a pout.
Zhang Tiedan didn't speak again, only took Zhang Xinsheng in his arms, the sky is blue, the sun is abundant, the heavy snow three days ago has not completely melted, and occasionally there will be water droplets falling from the trees, Zhang Tiedan sighed lightly, and thought in his heart: "This little life is a blessed person, the second brother is right, the unfortunate person will always be favored by luck, child, you are the unfortunate person who is favored by luck." ”
At night, Zhang Tiedan returned to the room with the sleeping Zhang Xinsheng, Ding Fengjun was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, holding the photo taken that day, several people on it were blooming with the most beautiful smiles, and the brand-new photo left a stagnation, which was the trace of Ding Fengjun's tears.
"Second brother, you haven't slept yet?" Zhang Tiedan asked softly.
Ding Fengjun turned his head to look at Zhang Tiedan and said, "No, there is no sleepiness at all." After speaking, Ding Fengjun glanced at Zhang Xinsheng again and said, "The child is sleeping?" ”
"He was tired from tossing this day, and he slept like a pig." Zhang Tiedan smiled, he put Zhang Xinsheng on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered Zhang Xinsheng.
Ding Fengjun looked at Zhang Tiedan, who was relaxed, and couldn't help asking: "Tiedan, your brother is gone, why can't I see your sadness, aren't you uncomfortable?" ”
Zhang Tiedan sat next to Ding Fengjun and said, "What's so sad about this, anyway, the person is already dead." ”
Ding Fengjun had no intention of blaming Zhang Tiedan, how could this Zhang Tiedan, who had insufficient IQ, have any thoughts, maybe one day in the future when he feels lonely, he will think of Li Ergou.
"Tiedan, there's one thing I want to ask you."
Zhang Tiedan looked at Ding Fengjun hesitantly and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Ding Fengjun said thoughtfully: "Didn't you say that you would die before, why did you survive this time and your brother died?" ”
Zhang Tiedan scratched his head and said, "Because of you, second brother." ”
Ding Fengjun was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "Me? Why? ”
"Because I said that the second brother is a blessed man, and only those who rely on you can get your protection, and it was your appearance that disrupted this incident."
Ding Fengjun smiled helplessly and said: "According to your meaning, if I hadn't asked Jilai to change places with you at that time, he should have survived now?" ”
Zhang Tiedan nodded and said, "Yes, that's true, that's why I wanted to thank you at that time." ”
"So, you knew there would be such a catastrophe?"
"Yes, I expected that."
"Then why don't you stop it, maybe you say it and they won't die."
"Second brother, if you see a car crashing into me, do you think you still have time to save me?"
Ding Fengjun looked at Zhang Tiedan inexplicably, Zhang Tiedan smiled miserably, and said: "Second brother, there are some things that we can't stop, and you don't need to dwell on this matter, there are deaths happening all the time in this world, and everyone has to experience death after all, but sooner or later, even if you have the heart, you can only love and help." ”
Ding Fengjun smiled bitterly, these big truths always made Ding Fengjun feel funny when they came out of Zhang Tiedan's mouth, and he even wondered if Zhang Tiedan's stupidity was pretending to be at this moment.
"Second brother, I've said everything I need to say, think about it and see if what I said makes sense."
Ding Fengjun smiled faintly and said, "Tiedan, do you say that you are pretending to be stupid with the second brother?" ”
Zhang Tiedan was stunned for a moment, he wrinkled his brows and said, "Second brother, what do you mean, I'm not stupid." ”
Ding Fengjun shook his head helplessly and looked at the serious Zhang Tiedan, Ding Fengjun naturally knew in his heart, this Zhang Tiedan was not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid!
"Tuk Tuk ......"
A rhythmic knock sounded on the door, Ding Fengjun put away the photo, simply cleaned up his sadness, and without waiting for him to ask, the person outside the door said, "Xiao Ding, have you slept?" ”
It turned out to be Lao Zhou, and Ding Fengjun promised to hurry to open the door.
Zhang Tiedan consciously returned to his bed, packed up the things on the bed, Lao Zhou came in from outside, his eyes fell on Zhang Tiedan, and said with an unnatural smile: "Tie Dan hasn't slept yet?" ”
Zhang Tiedan said with a sigh: "I'm about to sleep." ”
Lao Zhou stopped entering the house and said to Ding Fengjun: "Xiao Ding, I have something to look for you, why don't you come out for a while?" ”
Ding Fengjun smiled and said: "It's strange and cold outside, let's talk about it in the house, Tie Dan is not an outsider." ”
Lao Zhou hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, then let's talk in the house." ”
Ding Fengjun closed the door, and the two of them sat at the wooden table in the room, and Ding Fengjun took the kettle from the coal stove to pour water for Lao Zhou.
"Old Zhou, what's the matter with you?" Ding Fengjun looked at Lao Zhou, who was full of worries, and said.
Lao Zhou held the bowl in both hands and said with a little hesitation: "Actually, I came here for the sake of a new life." ”
"Freshmen?" Ding Fengjun furrowed his brows, looked at Zhang Xinsheng, who was sleeping, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the freshmen are causing any trouble again?" ”
Lao Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This kid is very well-behaved and obedient, how can he cause any trouble." ”
Looking at Lao Zhou, who wanted to stop talking, Ding Fengjun was a little confused, and he said directly: "Lao Zhou, if you have anything, just say it, don't sell it here." ”
Lao Zhou smiled awkwardly and said: "That's the case, I like this child very much, and I also know that this child's life is hard, there is no mother, this time my father is dead again, and he has become an orphan completely, I think this child is quite fate with me, plus I have no children and no daughters under my knees, this is not what I think, you give this child to me, I will definitely treat him well." ”
Ding Fengjun looked at Lao Zhou, his brows couldn't help frowning, and said: "Old Zhou, you know that you are kind, but I can't give you this child, followed by my brother, his child is my child, and this child has a grandfather, and he is not an orphan, so I have to take him back." ”
"He still has a grandfather? Why didn't I listen to the child, Xiaoding, you can't lie because you are reluctant to give the child to me. ”
Ding Fengjun felt ridiculous, what did he have to deceive Ding Fengjun, Zhang Tiedan interjected on the side: "Old Zhou, what are you talking about, is it necessary for my second brother to lie to you, the freshman really has a grandfather." ”
Lao Zhou glanced at the serious Zhang Tiedan, he sighed lightly and said, "Okay, it seems that my fate with this child is still not enough." ”
Zhang Tiedan smiled and said: "Lao Zhou, you don't have to sigh, if you believe me, then you should hurry home, you have a son in your life this year, if you seize the opportunity, it will be a great joy to have a son when you are old." ”
Lao Zhou smashed his mouth and said: "You are a big fool, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, if I believe your words, then I will not become the biggest fool!" ”
Ding Fengjun laughed and said: "Lao Zhou, maybe Tie Dan is right, you are such a good person, God will not treat you badly, if you have the opportunity, you will go home and try it, maybe you can really be happy this year?" ”
Lao Zhou stood up and said: "Xiao Ding, you are becoming more and more improper, forget it, there are times in life that you must have sometimes, and there is no time in life to force it, I will go back first, and you should go to bed early." ”
As he spoke, Lao Zhou stretched and walked out yawning.
After staying in the kiln for a few more days, Zhang Xinsheng's resistance to Ding Fengjun was no longer so strong, although he still shouted Ding Fengjun's second uncle, but he always had a lukewarm attitude towards Ding Fengjun, which always made Ding Fengjun feel a sense of estrangement.
On this day, Ye Wenmao found Ding Fengjun, and when he saw Ding Fengjun, he was extremely excited.
"Xiaoding, I have good news for you."
Ding Fengjun looked at Ye Wenmao suspiciously, and said, "Could it be that the Public Security Bureau found their bodies after them?" ”
Ye Wenmao was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said slightly mysteriously: "This matter is indeed related to the Public Security Bureau, but it is not about Zhang Jilai. ”
Ding Fengjun can only pay special attention to the matter of Zhang Jilai's corpse now, and other than that, he can't lift his spirits for anything.
Ye Wenmao saw Ding Fengjun's sluggishness, he patted Ding Fengjun's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ding, don't be so discouraged, Jilai and Ergou's bodies will be found sooner or later, what I want to tell you is that Wang Feng has been betrayed." ”
Ding Fengjun sighed softly, but suddenly raised his head again, and said with a light in his eyes: "How did you betray?" ”
Ye Wenmao smiled mysteriously and said: "The crimes of intentional wounding and intentional homicide, as well as absconding in fear of crime, are punished for several crimes, and betrayed him to life imprisonment." ”
Ding Fengjun sneered, his heart was more comfortable, and this result could be regarded as a consolation for the dead Zhang Jilai and Li Ergou.
"Did he do all this alone?" Ding Fengjun asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Wenmao nodded and said: "The news from the Public Security Bureau, at that time, Wang Feng confessed to what he had done, and he didn't have any accomplices, I really didn't expect this Wang Feng's mind to be so meticulous and his methods were so vicious, I was really blinded and found such a murderer to work in the kiln." ”
Ding Fengjun nodded thoughtfully, how can anyone who is not a sage not make mistakes, and not everyone has the skills of Zhang Tiedan, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, how can it be said that it is Ye Wenmao's fault.
Ding Fengjun looked at Ye Wenmao, who was sighing with emotion, and said lightly: "Master Ye Yao, you don't need to blame yourself, since the matter has passed, let him pass." ”
Ye Wenmao nodded and said, "By the way, Xiaoding, do you still plan to continue to look for the bodies of Zhang Jilai and Li Ergou?" ”
Ding Fengjun nodded slightly and said: "I brought the two of them, I have to bring the two of them back, I want to see people dead or corpses, I can't leave the two of them in this strange place, otherwise I won't be at ease." ”
Ye Wenmao sighed and said, "Xiao Ding, you are a person who values love and righteousness, I believe you will definitely find them." ”
Ding Fengjun's eyes were also a little more determined, and he also believed that he would be able to find the bodies of Zhang Jilai and Li Ergou.
The two of them were still talking about things, Zhou Fei came to Ye Wenmao coldly, he lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Master Ye Yao, I came to you to resign." ”
Ye Wenmao was stunned for a moment and said, "What, do you have something?" Why do you suddenly remember to leave? ”
Zhou Fei's flustered eyes flashed with unease, especially when his gaze touched Ding Fengjun's eyes, he flickered even more uneasiness and nervousness, which made Ding Fengjun feel very strange, Zhou Fei only said in a whisper: "There are so many things happening in our kiln, I'm a little scared, so I want to go home." ”
Ye Wenmao stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Fei's head and comforted: "Zhou Fei, you are also in your twenties, and you can be regarded as a little man, can this little thing still scare you?" You can work hard here with peace of mind, and I won't treat you badly. ”
Zhou Fei didn't seem to buy Ye Wenmao's account, he said resolutely: "Master Ye Yao, I think I'd better go back, this place is really not suitable for me, I want to find a suitable job in my hometown, that at least makes me feel down-to-earth." ”
Ye Wenmao looked at Zhou Fei, he always felt that something didn't seem right about Zhou Fei, but he couldn't say that feeling.
"Zhou Fei, have you encountered anything, if you encounter any difficulties, you can say it and see if I can help you."
Zhou Fei bit his lip, shook his head and said, "Master Ye Yao, I have finished what I should say, and I will go back early tomorrow morning." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Wenmao to speak again, Zhou Fei blushed and bowed his head and left.
"This kid, really, must have encountered something, otherwise he wouldn't have left in such a hurry." Ye Wenmao muttered to himself.
Ding Fengjun also felt that Zhou Fei was very strange, although Ding Fengjun didn't know Zhou Fei, but Zhou Fei's performance just now was very strange, maybe Zhou Fei was really scared by the death of Zhang Jilai and Li Ergou.
At night, Ding Fengjun smoked outside the cave, the winter night was still so cold, the flickering smoke tail was particularly obvious in this dark night, the red smoke tail reflected Ding Fengjun's sad face, the night in the mountains was always so quiet, and the noise in the kiln was blocked by the cold wind in the outside world.
Ding Fengjun paced back and forth outside the kiln.
"Brother Ding, is that you?"
Ding Fengjun was startled by this sudden voice, he stopped, turned his head to look at the source of the voice, it turned out to be Zhou Fei.
"Zhou Fei, why don't you come out for a walk?" Ding Fengjun put the cigarette tail in his hand on the ground, raised his foot to extinguish it, and Zhou Fei walked slowly to Ding Fengjun's side with his hands in his pockets.
"Brother Ding, I have something to tell you."
Ding Fengjun glanced at Zhou Fei, who was hesitant, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhou Fei cried before he could say anything, which made Ding Fengjun even more at a loss, and he hurriedly asked: "Zhou Fei, what's wrong with you, what's going on?" ”
Zhou Fei suddenly knelt in front of Ding Fengjun, hugged Ding Fengjun's legs with both hands, and cried and said, "Old Brother Ding, I'm sorry for you!" ”
