Chapter 70: Tao Wei's Story
In the evening, the streets were a little depressed, a little cold, the sky was gray, and a few sparse snowflakes slowly fell, accompanied by a cold wind that turned helplessly, and drifted into the distance involuntarily.
A little thin little girl, whose left hand was held by her mother's hand and walked down the street, and her right hand was sensibly placed in the pocket of her jacket, she knew that it was cold, because the breath she breathed quickly turned into a white mist, and the stray cats that used to come out were no longer in the usual place where she and her mother were fed. The mother told her that the kitten should find a warm home to spend the winter, she nodded obediently, and tightened the cat food that was originally brought to the kitten in her right hand.
A family of three walked past each other holding hands, and the little girl's ears moved and she heard their conversation.
"Girl, Dad takes you to a big dinner in the evening, and you're not happy."
"Ang, happy! Daddy, uh-huh! The voice grew farther and farther away, and the little girl stopped, looking in the direction the family of three had left.
"What's wrong? Slightly? Her mother also stopped, and watched her daughter standing quietly on the side of the road in confusion, and the snowflakes grew bigger and bigger, and in a short time the little girl's body was covered with a layer of white sand.
"Mom? Where did Abba go? ”
She felt that her right hand was empty, as if there should have been an equally warm hand holding her, and she looked at her mother in confusion, and then at the empty right side, and suddenly felt that it was only herself and her mother, and that it was incomplete.
"Silly boy, Abba will be back on your birthday." Mother still smiled so kindly, but Weiwei didn't believe it anymore, in her memory, her mother said the same thing last year, and the year before that.
"Well, I want to grow up quickly." The little girl nodded obediently, but she felt her mother's hand hold her tighter, and that day onwards, she noticed that her mother's gray hair was growing more and more.
"Weiwei, mom go out for a while and take good care of the house at home." As she gets older, she can already help her mother do what she can, and she has the impression that her mother's face has begun to have wrinkles, and sometimes she even begins to look at something for a long time.
The little girl nodded obediently, she put the rag in her hand in the basin, and patiently wiped the cabinet at home, which was covered with dust, and her mother had not cleaned it for a long time.
"Is it Abba's news?" She turned her head to look at the photo of a family of three hanging on the wall at home, and remembered the phone call her grandma received last night, saying that there was news of someone and she needed to confirm it.
"Abba, come back quickly, don't wait until my eighteenth birthday." A kitten gently landed on the windowsill and meowed at her, she opened the window and let the kitten kiss her forehead, silently making a wish in her heart.
Year after year, the leaves of the big tree outside the window withered and greened, and the cat finally disappeared one day, and the mother became more and more silent, she grew up day by day in waiting, and spent her birthday after birthday with great anticipation.
"Weiwei, mom is sorry for you." The old mother, lying on the hospital bed with tears in her eyes, gently handed a ring into her hand, and she had long since stopped crying.
"Mother, don't say it again, Weiwei knows." Weiwei, who has grown up, is wearing a school uniform, crying and red-eyed, the accident came too suddenly, when the doctor in a white coat contacted her at school, everything seemed irreparable, and the person told her that her mother may not be able to survive this winter.
"Live well, Dad will definitely come back!" That was the mother's last words, and then her world became a blank, and the sky had begun to flutter with snowflakes, and she had hoped that three people would walk hand in hand, but in the end she became a person, and that person did not come back in the end.
Ding Dong, that was the sound of the rice cooker jumping up, Tao Wei raised her head from the windowsill, it was getting late outside, the night in S City was very beautiful, and the colorful lights illuminated the whole city, she talked about her forehead regretfully, got up and walked to the mirror and looked at her eyes and was stunned.
"I fell asleep again." Tao Wei touched his thin face, because the thin eyes are extraordinarily big, this performance is not very good, so that his sleep time has been reduced a lot, so he will feel sleepy from time to time, fortunately, during working hours, he did not fall asleep, thinking of the fat sister in charge who weighed almost 200 pounds, Tao Wei's face was a little helpless, that big sister, it seems that she has been very fond of going against herself recently.
"Whew, open meal, open meal!" She got up and walked to the balcony, lit the gas on it and began to run her own dinner, and after a while, the aroma of food wafted from the room, and outside the window, suddenly there was a sound of clicking, and she looked back curiously, and saw a spirited black cat standing on the windowsill.
The black cat was very spirited, yes, the first word that popped into her head was spirit. The black hair, which is not long or short, does not have a single miscellaneous hair, is so black that it makes people feel pure, it squats there like that, with a slightly long tail rippling behind it, and does not meow like ordinary cats, just gently knocking on the window with its paws, but Tao Wei suddenly understood, it wanted to come in.
"Hungry?" She opened the window and watched as the cat came in and sniffed around the room, and then jumped lightly onto the table.
"Huh? Why do you feel a little different? Tao who wanted to take out the cat food to feed it was slightly stunned, the cat didn't seem to like to eat cat food, and after smelling the cat food, he didn't pay attention to it, and his tail was raised high to look at the food on the table, and he was more interested in the food he made.
"Okay, whatever you want, then I'll go find you a clean bowl and chopsticks." Tao Wei turned around and went to the kitchen to take out another small bowl, poured out a portion of his own food, and saw the black cat squatting there very elegantly and eating.
"It's really different, I always feel like you're different from ordinary cats." She gently stroked the black cat's fur as if she had said hello, then picked up her share and began to eat.
Knock knock, the sound of someone knocking on the door, Tao Wei raised her head in horror and looked in the direction of the door, it was already very late, how could there be anyone at this time, she gently said to the black cat with a shh
In some dark corridors, a man dressed in black knocked on the door gently, as if it was as quiet as the black cat, Tao Wei still didn't make a sound, she was a little scared, after all, a strange man knocking on the door at night always makes people feel a little frightened.
"Is it Miss Tao Wei's house? I'm JC, so I'm sorry to bother you at night. The voice of the man in black came from outside, but Tao Wei couldn't believe it even more, she gently hung up the chains inside the door, with a faint hint of doubt in her voice. Well, do you have any love for me?" She made up her mind that she wouldn't go to the door tonight, even if she called herself JC on the other side.
"There's news of your father, do you want to hear it?" Suddenly, the man in black outside the door took out a document with his police station number on it, proving his identity, and took out a necklace and a photo.
The photograph was a little old, with dots of black spots all over it, but the three people on it were still clearly visible, a young couple holding an infant child, a picture she had seen countless times, and she looked back at the living room in disbelief, and there was a larger picture on it.
"Really... Really, really? Finally, she tried to open the lock of the door that had just been bolted, but her thin hand seemed to not obey the call, and the bolt that was easily inserted just now was not opened, and her tears flowed involuntarily, but the more anxious she was, the more the lock could not be opened.
"Of course it's true, Miss Tao Wei, what's wrong with you?" Ding Qianye, who heard the sound inside, wiped the sweat stains on his face, this corridor is a little stuffy, it belongs to the pattern of a typical old campus, there are many families on the first floor, and what is even more odious is that the kitchen of a family seems to be next to this, and now it is steaming outside. Bai Ming doesn't like to talk, and Natura is excited to complete the task, no way, Ding Qianye only appears by himself.
"No, no, nothing, the door won't open! You wait, don't go, I'll open the door right away. There was already a girl's sobbing sound and a hurried knock on the door from inside the door, Ding Qianye looked inside at the cat's eye, the thin girl was desperately twisting the deadbolt with her hand, and Ding Qianye's nose faintly smelled a smell of blood.
"Don't rush, take your time." Without leaving a trace, a wisp of golden energy poured into the keyhole, spreading from the inside to the inside of the door, and in an instant, it gently fiddled at the position of the bolt, and now, the bolt finally opened.
"Sorry, the deadbolt is a little too old." After opening the door, Tao Weiwei saw a childish young man standing at the door, with a height of about 176, with a hint of youth on his face, and looked at herself with an apologetic face, she quickly explained.
"Yes, I can understand your excitement, now take care of the wound first, and then I'll tell you about your father." Ding Qianye walked into the room, looked at Xiao Hei eating leisurely over there, and nodded.
