"It's only two kilometers away!"

In the haze of the rain, the three of them walked farther and farther, and the heavy rain carried the strong wind, leaving endless noise in their ears, as if they did not want to let Fan Ao go home.

The heavy coconut crumbled as if it was about to fall in the next moment. The heavier the rain, the quieter the footsteps, and Fan Ao's heart was very confused, and they were the only ones on the long road. She slowly quickened her pace, her trouser legs were wet with water, and she was a little cold, the wind was howling all around, and a bamboo pole was blown horizontally by the strong wind.

Fan Ao was unguarded, his eyes looked at the shaft of the umbrella, and the rain was pouring down.

"Be careful. ”

Xing Zeyuan ran a few steps, and then quickly took out his palm, dragging Mo Xing, who was a little starry and light-tailed, and held the long bamboo pole. The moment he walked out of the umbrella, Xing Zeyuan was suddenly drenched, because he was afraid that the truncated bamboo pole would hit Fan Ao and Duan Qin behind him, so he did not cut it off, but threw it into the wild grass on the side of the road.

"It's fine. ”

Duan Qin walked over quickly to give Xing Zeyuan an umbrella, and Fan Ao stood under the umbrella in a daze. There were many rainy days when everyone was waiting for an umbrella because someone was taking them home and she was waiting for the rain to stop. A heavy rain washed away the black umbrella with a dripping sound, Xing Zeyuan took the umbrella in Duan Qin's hand and looked at the half of his face behind the black umbrella.

The everyday's cold face doesn't know what he's thinking, in short, it's a little wooden.

"I'm sorry, I got distracted. ”

Finally there was someone who could shield her from the damage in front of her, but she suddenly didn't feel anything, she was just a little anxious in her heart, slightly cocked her umbrella, looked at Xing Zeyuan who was wet, she felt a little guilty, Xing Zeyuan shook his head and said:

"Let's go!"

"Good. ”

Walking in the cold breeze of the night, the sea rolls up the smell of sea and fills the world. There was no water on the stone path, and the white foam from the heavy rain spread to the weeds around it.

If it was a sunny day, the two-kilometer road would only take four minutes for either Xing Zeyuan or Fan Ao to run, but this time they walked for a long, long time, and Xing Zeyuan tilted all the umbrellas towards Duan Qin when he opened the umbrella. Duan Qin leaned on Xing Zeyuan and wiped the rain off Xing Zeyuan's face with the handkerchief he carried.

"It's here. ”

Suddenly stopped, it was still dark all around, but Fan Ao knew it well, she couldn't go wrong, and walked along the muddy stone road to the sea, and slowly, a small village with only six houses appeared in front of her. Fan Ao stopped in front of a bungalow.

It was still the familiar iron birch hedge, the familiar drying rack was scattered to the ground by the storm, the small shed on one side was leaking rain, and below was a few dry firewood, and the two old ospreys who were locked in the iron cage pulled their necks, listless, and probably tired during the day. The sloping roof of the bungalow poured water outward, and in the sound of water, the umbrella in Fan'ao's hand leaned back, revealing her full face, looking at the dim light in the window, and she had an indescribable feeling.

"Dad, I want my sister's slingshot too. ”

"Yes, Daddy will make you a slingshot from an iron birch, which grows slowly and is so strong that it won't rot even if it's soaked in water. ”

"yes, Daddy is so nice. ”

"Come, Fan'o, and my sister will dry the net together. ”

"Okay. ”

As soon as Xiao Fan'ao with the head of the ball ran up, his two calves were pounding very fast.

"You can play when you're done!"

When she was a child, she couldn't touch the eaves, but now she can touch them with a light jump, and the wall is not as hard as she thought it would be. Only three years have passed, and there have been no vicissitudes of life, and there have been no drastic changes in the world, but there have been a lot of ups and downs here, and the years since she left seem to be as long as thirty years.

All the past and innocence have disappeared in this time. No matter how much she misses it in the future, she can't go back.

"Knock on the door!"

Fan Ao was a little stunned, and after Xing Zeyuan finished speaking, she knocked on the door, the tethered door opened, crossed the threshold, and the three of them quickly walked into the room.

The room with only one lamp was a little dark, and the old man wiping his wet hair dragged his almost stiff legs out.

"Who's the old woman?"

"Old man......"

The old woman's face was full of incredulity, and she turned around and almost fell, while Fan Ao froze in place.

"Dad......"

The trembling lips had lost their usual rosiness, and it was too cold outside compared to the warmth of the room.

The old man walked over tremblingly, touched Fan Ao's face with his cold hand, and cried out with a sour nose. It's been a long time since anyone has called him that, and Fan Ao hasn't touched the term for a long time, but as long as he says it, it will be very warm, like all suffering can be solved.

"Where have you been in the past three years?"

"I'm outside, Dad, I'm sorry!"

Once she thought that she would be beaten by her father when she came back, but the moment she saw her father crying, her heart softened, tears fell suddenly, bean-sized tears fell down, and the elderly father hugged his child, like something was stuffed in his throat.

"Sit down!"

Calloused hands touched their red and swollen eyes, and the man called the woman over and sat down at the table with the lamp.

"Don't cry, go turn on the lights. ”

"Good!"

"Mom!"

After hugging Fan Ao, the woman turned on the light, and the room with four walls was suddenly exposed, and there was a large photo on the wall with a bamboo basket, which was a family photo.

"Kid, my eyes are bad, introduce me to these two. ”

Thatcher van O's father was named Thatcher Fisthis, and his mother was named Vanmu. He rubbed his bloodshot eyes, as a fisherman, he has a simple personality, but Xing Zeyuan and Duan Qin, who are very arrogant, are not simple at first glance, they are very temperamental.

Fan Ao snorted, sobbing and didn't bother to introduce Xing Zeyuan to them.

Once she thought she would never come back, once she thought she was gone, her parents would not open the door for her for a few days and nights kneeling at the door, she magnified her mistakes and disobedience to her father infinitely, she thought that her father would not forgive her. But she has always forgotten one very important thing, and that is that blood is thicker than water!

The moment she entered the door, her mother's deep forehead tattoo made her eyes misty, she was fortunate to come back, if she hadn't come back, if she had come back a few years later, if she had died outside, she would have never seen her parents a long time ago. Complicated feelings rushed to her heart, and she couldn't help herself for a long time.

"Why is this kid staying?"

The somewhat apologetic Fischis glanced at Fan Ao with affection, Duan Qin suddenly remembered his chubby father and mother who still maintained a perfect figure, and Xing Zeyuan, he had only seen this kind of look from Uncle Ichiro and Aunt Meijing.

"Hello, uncle, I'm Xing Zeyuan. ”

"My name is Duan Qin. ”

"Hello, hello, you are the ...... of Van Ao"

Van Au looked at his father, and Fische was a little embarrassed, the house was very simple, and there was not even a decent fruit to entertain guests. When Fische asked the above sentence, Van Au instantly made up his mind that he must not let his parents know that he was really a killer.

Fan Ao looked at Xing Zeyuan and blinked his left eye, which Fische couldn't see.

"That's right, I'm the leader of the stars-Red Shield Mercenary Regiment, and Fan Ao is our team member, this time we came out on a mission, and I stopped by to see you. ”

Xing Zeyuan handed out his dazzling brooch of the leader of the Star Mercenary Group, the stripes on it were brilliant and noble, shining in the faint light.

"Oh~"

Fischis got up, he didn't want to embarrass his daughter, but he just stretched out his dirty hand and retracted it.

"I don't know when Fan Ao became a mercenary, or is it the Stars Mercenary Group?"

"Mm-hmm, I joined them three years ago. ”

Fan Ao said, looking at the smile on his father's face, and for the first time felt that it was not all bad to deceive people.

"We have encountered a lot of setbacks, which is why the mercenary group was only established last year. ”

"Good!"

Fiscis shook hands with Xing Zeyuan, the latter didn't mind, he respected his elders very much, and he was very good at talking to them.

"It's seven o'clock, have you eaten?"

"Not yet!"

"Wife, don't cry, go and cook for the head of the regiment and his daughter. ”

"Good!"

Rubbing her hands twice, Fan'o's mother turned and walked into the kitchen, her hands shaking with excitement. Laughing, Fischis said earnestly:

"Captain Xing Zeyuan, thank you for taking care of Fan Ao, she is stubborn, sometimes you have to tolerate her when she is impulsive, and it is not easy for a girl to be outside. ”

Looking at her father's appearance, Fan Ao finally couldn't help it, and it was stormy outside, she walked into her room, a simple room with only a bed, a wardrobe and a writing desk, and the mirror on the wall was fixed to it with nails. Other than that, there was nothing here, but the room was clean, not a bit of dust, and the sheets, although not smelly, were not smelly at all. Sitting on the bed, looking at the quilt cover with patches sewn, she cried all at once.

"What's wrong? Why did you cry when you finally came back?"

Fisis had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and when he walked in, he limped, and the seated Fan Ao hugged his father and buried his face in his bosom, the faint smell of seaweed, which she had been familiar with since childhood.

"Dad, I was wrong. ”

"Good boy, it's okay, ah! I knew you would be obedient, you wouldn't be a killer, you wouldn't be a mercenary, you would be a mercenary. Daddy is proud of you!"

"Uh-huh!"

Fan Ao cried loudly, and the people who listened were sad.

"Let her cry well!"

Xing Zeyuan pulled the piano and shook his head.

"It seems that what she said is true. ”

Seeing each other after the relatives parted, a tear didn't know how much longing it contained? Duan Qin's heart softened, and their tears melted her heart before.

"Dad, why don't you use the money I sent you?"

"Money?"

Suddenly enlightened, Fischer took out an iron box from Van O's closet, which was full of cash.

"Every once in a while, someone will send money, but your mother and I don't know who sent it, thinking that it can't be someone who sent it wrong, right? But it won't be wrong for three years, I have saved them, just know that you sent them, these can make you marry a good family in the future, and you won't be wronged when you get to the man's house." ”

Fan Ao felt a little uncomfortable, and once again made up his mind that even if he hid it, he couldn't tell his father that he had been a killer.

"No need Dad, I'll take you and Mom to Arthur City tomorrow for medical treatment. ”

"The family has ...... money"

"I believe in my daughter, this money can still be earned, the body is the most important, we will go to the city early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay! ”

"Eat, eat, eat. ”

The mother's cooking always made the prodigal son miss him countless times, and after wiping his tears, Fiscis and Van'ao walked out together. Holding his father, the man's legs and feet were neither painful nor stiff because of Fan Ao's return, and he walked much more steadily. Seeing the simple fish soup with black bread, he was a little embarrassed and said:

"Head Xing Zeyuan, Miss Duan Qin, there is nothing delicious at home, you can make do with it. ”

"It's already very good, and the soup cooked by my aunt is delicious at first glance. ”

"Eat! Eat!"

Raising their hands, Xing Zeyuan and Duan Qin nodded hurriedly, and then took a sip of fish soup.

"Child, you should also eat more, you have worked hard outside all these years. ”

Xing Zeyuan and Duan Qin knew her details, and she couldn't raise her head all the time, but she didn't interrupt her father's speech.

"Captain Xing Zeyuan, what position does Fan Ao have in your mercenary group?"

"There are nine of us in the team, and Van Ao is the most important tactical core - the sniper. ”

"Oops!"

Clapping his hands, Fischis excitedly squeezed the wrinkles on his face.

"Okay! I'll boil water for you, and after eating, soak your feet and rest. ”

Glancing at Fan Ao, Xing Zeyuan and Duan Qin were originally going back, but they stayed after Feschius's stubbornness.

At night, Xing Zeyuan slept in Fan Ao's sister's room, and Duan Qin slept with Fan Ao.

"Next time I have to prepare something at home, just now in the kitchen, there is nothing but fish. ”

The old woman grumbled, and Fishua nodded.

"You have to be prepared, you know, the money was sent back by Jiujiu, and it is estimated that it was earned in the mercenary group. ”

They whispered so as not to disturb everyone.

"Really?"

"Of course, Chirp also said that he would take us to Arthur's City for treatment tomorrow. ”

"No matter what, if you murder my daughter again in the future, I won't be done with you. ”

"I know, I know, the lesson from last time is still long. ”

It was still raining heavily outside the window, it was pitch black everywhere, and there was a pair of deep eyes in the dark, and this time when she came back, she grew up again.

"That's why I'm a killer, and you must have seen it, so don't tell my parents the truth, please. ”

Sleeping with her back to her, Duan Qin agreed to her, leaning her back against Fan Ao's back with warmth.

"Close to sleep. ”

Outside, the icy rain washed over the land, and they quickly fell asleep in the warm bed.
