Chapter Seventy-Three: The Returning Man
It was a rainstorm day, the first time that such a heavy rain poured in the city of Anzai. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The strong droplets of water slammed into various hard objects outside the house, making a crackling sound, and the droplets of water hitting the glass made a thumping sound, and one by one the winding lines of water swept across the glass, like snakes meandering forward.
"Ahh Ahh
Xiao Murong slept next to me, she looked very cute and interesting when she slept, curled up like a little shrimp, and then buried her little head in my chest and hugged my arms tightly. She doesn't snore, but she does babble a little bit between breaths.
It's about 4 o'clock now, I was woken up by the thunder and lightning of this rainstorm, I was scared when I heard thunder since I was a child, and I haven't overcome it until now, I woke up and looked at the super sweet little Mu Rong who was still sleeping, and it was really a little girl who was not afraid of thunder.
And after that? After that I couldn't sleep, not because the thunder scared me, but because I was on my mind, I watched the white light flickering in the sky outside the window, and then counted the roar in the sky with my nervous heartbeat, but I was thinking about others. With so much going on, I can't even remember how I met him, I thought about what happened between us, as if there was really nothing special, if I really wanted to say that it was that his identity background was too shocking and mysterious, but that's all.
"Boom!"
I clutched my ears until the thunder cleared.
I covered Xiao Murong with a tight quilt, although it was summer, but it would still be wet and cold when it rained, she was not in good health, and I really couldn't afford to catch a cold again.
Then I got up, I really can't sleep in this case, in this case, it is better to help Mu Rong make some food or something first.
"Already, six days..... Isn't it over yet?! "All I can do is mumble to myself, I have been paying attention to the news from Mu Rong during this time, the influence of this matter has expanded rapidly, from the initial inspection of terrorists to the sweep of gangs, yesterday, this matter has begun to involve officials, it is said that many officials in the city have been taken away 'shuanggui', eighty percent of the gang's informed members have confessed their umbrella. The next thing is sure to be fun, a dog-eat-dog drama will soon sweep the whole of Anxi, and of course it may be forcibly suppressed by some big shots. But I don't care about this kind of thing now, I have been paying attention to the original incident, that is, whether the case of the terrorist attack on the hotel has been solved, because it was done by Xiao Fang, and now the media and the police are not focusing on this matter, and I have never received the news that Xiao Fang was caught.
I turned off Xiao Murong's mobile phone, my heart was still pounding, imagining that maybe he would come back the next moment, of course, maybe the next moment the news of his arrest or murder would come along the news, I can't imagine what kind of scene I would be at that time...... If it were the former, would I have cried out loud with emotion, I haven't cried because of sadness in countless years. If it's the latter..... Then I probably won't cry again in this life, right?!
The wind seems to be crying outside, and the pouring rain is constantly washing the land, and the dirty, obscure things will be washed clean by this rain, and finally disappear into the world.
I'm still preparing to eat, first stew staple foods such as rice, and then take some time to think about what to do, I haven't learned much other skills in the past six days, that is, cooking and doing housework, I really learned a thorough thing, in just six days, it has changed from the original 'improvisation' to the level that can satisfy Xiao Murong, and I feel a little proud in my heart, okay, this kind of thing can be done as long as it is a person.
I prepared the ingredients, tomatoes, eggs, garlic sprouts, pork that was still thawing, etc., and sat on the bench in a daze.
"Ding!"
In the past six days, every day when the phone vibrates, I will quickly pick it up and look at it, thinking that it will be a text message from him, telling us his current situation, even if he is arrested by the police, as long as I know where he is, it is better than losing contact like this.
But during this time, all the text messages I received, either 10086 call bill reminders, or some subscribed text message notifications, every time I saw it, I didn't even unlock the screen and turned off the phone again.
After so many times, I almost didn't have much hope, just a casual glance.
"Can you open the door for me?"
A simple sentence, only eight words, no payment, no superfluous information.
It all came so quickly, so suddenly, I don't know how to describe my mood at the time, because it felt like a lot anyway. Likely, you're outside the operating room, and you're finally waiting for the doctor to come out..... Say that sentence in person: The operation was successful!
At that moment, I was probably a rather sloppy image, disheveled, stumbling to open the door, and I didn't know if I had knocked over anything, and I didn't care that my legs seemed to have hit the corners of the table.
I didn't care so much, I walked to the big iron gate, and opened the door as soon as I could, and the storm swept in along the gate, and the wind was pumping on my face, and the rain hit my eyes, and my eyes hurt for a while, but I still opened them.
Nothing...... The person I was expecting didn't come back.
The rain soaked my few clothes in a matter of seconds, my hair became strands of hair, and the silver serpent in the sky was still flickering, with a roar that lit up the pale sky and the majestic earth.
Looking back in disappointment, I clutched the phone in my hand, returned to the corridor, sat on the low staircase, watched the open door face the storm between heaven and earth, although lost, I did not despair, I believed in his promise, so far, everything he said has become a reality, every word he says, will be done. So I'll wait for him to come back and make good on my promise and wait for him to come back. Perhaps, in a little while, he will be back.
I don't know how long I've been waiting, maybe ten minutes, maybe only a few seconds.
"Hmm......" Someone touched my head, this is the first time I have been touched by someone else in the past few years, I feel.... Crispy. I looked up as if I had been awakened......
"Yo, I'm back......"
A vague figure stood right in front of me, his voice familiar, lighthearted, and at a normal pace. The difference is that there is a deep weariness in his words.
I could feel myself trembling, and I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say the last word.
"Aisha, you're crying..... ....." He said apologetically, then lowered his body to look at me, probably his eyes so close that he could tell if it was rain or tears.
"It's the rain ....." I gritted my teeth, my heart was awkward, I wanted to harden my mouth, but I couldn't speak, the last word 'water' fell apart before it could be revealed, everything in front of me blurred, and the warm feeling continued to flow down my face, and I couldn't help but say anything in this situation.
"You're back....." I only said this sentence at the end, and I wanted to reproach him for why he had been gone for so long, but after this moment everything didn't matter much, and his place in my heart, as long as he was alive, was fine.
"Well, I'm back, don't worry, it's all over......"
"Hmm."
