The door was slowly pushed open, and through the yellowing light outside the door, Xie Shuyao saw a familiar face, it turned out that Xie's father pushed the door in with a kerosene lamp.

Xie Shuyao's expression was even more nervous, as if he was on the verge of a great enemy, he was on guard against the sudden appearance of Xie's father, in the middle of the night, the father suddenly appeared in his daughter's room, and the daughter was still tied up strongly, Xie Shuyao couldn't help but think about it.

As soon as Father Xie entered the door, he made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Shhh, don't wake up your mother with a small voice!" ”

Seeing that after Xie's father entered the house, he turned around and took out a lacquered wooden food box from outside the door, Xie Shuyao reacted at this time, because he was angry and didn't eat at night, and his father secretly brought food to himself. Thinking of this, Xie Shuyao's tense heart relaxed, and she secretly scolded herself in her heart for being too suspicious.

Xie Shuyao knew that Father Xie did not go to Tianjin today, because when he came back from Tianjin, Xie Shuyao learned from the conversation between Mother Xie and Hu Shi and others that Father Xie had been staying in front of the old man's hospital bed last night, and the affairs of the hospital made Father Xie unable to leave. Because Father Xie spoils Xie Shuyao very much on weekdays, Xie Shuyao does not have much resistance to Father Xie's appearance: "Where did you get the key?" ”

"Your mom is asleep." Father Xie replied simply. Father Xie gently closed the door, put the kerosene lamp and the lacquered wood food box on the table, tiptoed open the food box, took out the food in the food box and asked his daughter, "Are you hungry!" ”

Smelling the fragrance of food wafting from the lunch box, Xie Shuyao swallowed her saliva uncontrollably, and stared at the fragrant meal with her eyes.

Father Xie saw his daughter's eyes staring at the food, it seems that his daughter is already hungry, distressed and a little angry at the same time, stupidly angry with his mother and not eating dinner, in the end it is not you who is unlucky!

walked up to his daughter's side and waved his daughter to turn around: "Turn around, I'll help you untie the rope so you can eat." ”

"You're not afraid of me running away?" Xie Shuyao turned around and asked Father Xie to untie the rope that was tied back.

Father Xie scolded angrily: "Stinky girl, if you dare to run, I will dare to call your mother up!" ”

Xie Shuyao heard that he actually threatened Xie Mu, and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I'll shout now and bring your daughter-in-law over!" ”

When Father Xie heard this, he was afraid that his daughter would really wake up Mother Xie, so he had to persuade him with good words: "Good girl, I'm here to help you, why are you kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs!" ”

"Dad, I beg you, you let me go secretly, I promise not to tell Mom!" Xie Shuyao turned his face and looked at Father Xie with a pitiful look.

Father Xie's face turned pale, he got up and made it look like he was leaving, and scared his daughter: "If you mess around like this again, I won't care about you!" ”

Seeing that Father Xie was leaving, Xie Shuyao pursed her lips, and had to compromise: "Okay, don't mess with you, you hurry up and untie the rope, my hands are numb and almost unconscious!" ”

Father Xie's eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see the condition of the rope clearly, so he carried the kerosene lamp to the side of the bed, and with the help of the yellowed light, Father Xie found that there were several obvious cuts on the rope on his daughter's wrist, and Father Xie pretended not to see it, and continued to help his daughter untie the rope.

Xu was tied for too long, and when Father Xie untied the rope, Xie Shuyao's two arms were extremely stiff, and it took Xie Shuyao a while before he dared to move his arms freely.

While his daughter was eating, Father Xie suddenly asked, "Girl, can you tell Dad what you think?" ”

Xie Shuyao, who was nibbling on steamed buns, heard his father suddenly ask a puzzled word, and asked a little incomprehensibly: "What do you think?" ”

"You've been running away from home since you were a kid, and this time you're running away from home. Dad really doesn't understand, why did you run away from home? Can you tell Dad what the reason is? Father Xie frowned slightly.

Xie Shuyao listened to Father Xie's question, put down the steamed bun in his hand and thought secretly for a while, and then asked Father Xie with a serious face: "Dad, do you believe that there are immortals in this world?" ”

Not understanding what his daughter meant by asking this question, Father Xie shook his head with confusion and said, "I don't believe it." Is there anything to do between the two? ”

Hearing that Father Xie didn't believe in immortals, the rhetoric prepared by Xie Shuyao was useless, so he picked up the steamed bun and continued to eat, because his mouth was stuffed with food, and his speech seemed inarticulate, and he replied: "Well frogs can't talk to the sea, summer insects can't talk to the ice, you don't believe in God, even if I explain it to you, you must think I'm talking nonsense, so I don't need to explain it to you!" ”

Can't summer insects talk to ice people? Yes, my daughter is scolding herself! Father Xie was not angry at his daughter's rudeness, but said to his daughter: "The son is not me, and I don't know what you say!" Tell Dad about it, maybe Dad will understand and support you! ”

Since Father Xie said so, Xie Shuyao stopped his chopsticks again and said to Father Xie: "Dad, do you remember when we went to Jiming Temple to make a vow, when we were worshipping Guanyin, there was a voice that kept appearing in my ears, and that voice didn't let me tell you at that time, so I never told you, that voice told me a lot of things about the future......"

Xie Shuyao used the words of ghosts and gods to tell all the things he knew about the future. After finishing speaking, Xie Shuyao carefully observed Father Xie's expression, but found that Father Xie frowned slightly, and didn't seem to believe his words very much.

"Are you fooling me?" Father Xie asked with a skeptical tone.

Xie Shuyao threw away the chopsticks and said angrily: "Look! I told you that 'well frogs can't talk about the sea', and you still have to say 'Zi is not me' to me, but I said that you said that I fooled you! ”

"Okay, okay, I'm sure what you said is not good?" Father Xie saw that his daughter was angry, and hurriedly coaxed. "You said that Guanyin Bodhisattva asked you to save China, and he asked you to run away from home to lobby Zhang Xueliang and those politicians?"

Xie Shuyao glanced at Father Xie: "Whether that voice is Guanyin Bodhisattva's, I don't know." Then he sighed lightly and pretended to be relaxed: "Anyway, since it chose to tell me about the danger that China will face in the future, then I have the responsibility to save China in crisis, and it is my own idea to find Zhang Xueliang." ”

Father Xie thought for a while, slowly raised his head and looked at his daughter Xie Shuyao, and said solemnly: "Girl, I remember that when you were in Nanjing, you said that the Northern Expedition of the Revolutionary Army would succeed and Chiang Kai-shek would become the president of the country, and that the voice you heard told you?" ”

Xie Shuyao looked at Father Xie and said, "Do you believe what I said now?" ”

Gently patting his daughter's head, Father Xie smiled softly: "Silly girl, why don't you believe it!" ”

"I don't even believe it!" Xie Shuyao knocked away Father Xie's hated hand, stared at Father Xie and said.

"If you don't even believe in your daughter's truth, then how can I be your father!" Father Xie said softly.

Seeing that Father Xie believed in himself unconditionally, Xie Shuyao's eyes lit up and looked at Father Xie and said, "Dad, since you believe in me, then you can let me go!" ”

Father Xie picked up the chopsticks that were thrown on the table and handed them to his daughter: "Let you go?" You have to agree to it, I don't have that right! ”

"Okay, I'm going to tease you! Look at your scared wife's cowardice! Xie Shuyao took a bite of the dish and deliberately despised Father Xie.

"By the way, how is Grandpa in the hospital?" Xie Shuyao thought of the old man Xie in the hospital and suddenly asked.

……

After waiting for more than half an hour, I saw my husband come out of her daughter's room with a lunch box, and Xie's mother's sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and the string that was tight in her heart was finally loosened.

When Xie's father came back with a lunch box, Xie's mother asked quietly, "Yaoyao, did she eat it?" ”
