Volume 1 Dawn Chapter 43 Father
At night, on the rooftop outside the house. Gu Chenxi stood in front of Zhang Jiajia, he just went to the study and found a pair of black fist gloves, and now he was holding one in one hand and using it as a sandbag for her.
"Ready?" Gu Chenxi asked.
The girl raised the corners of her mouth, collided twice with her fist gloves on her hands, and changed her pace back and forth under her feet.
"Come on." He said with a smile.
"Hey! Ha! Zhang Jiajia punched him in each hand, looking excited.
"Try the right hook."
The girl struck him with the right hand, the sound of the rubber material was soft, and she stared at the black suit earnestly, and landed a few right hooks. Jiajia's movements are one after another, and her clumsy seriousness is a little cute.
While she was having fun by herself, Gu Chenxi began to think back to what had happened during the day.
[Looking at the color of the blood vessels, it is obvious that the person is poisoned, but what kind of poison can make people suddenly stronger?] ]
Later, when he went back to make a record with the police, Gu Chenxi described to them the strange appearance of the gangster's body, and when they heard about it, Gu Chenxi noticed that Hongyu and Team Xiao's brows were locked for a while. It's very likely that they've had something similar before, and it's not been long.
[But.] What exactly is there lately that can make....]
Gu Chenxi's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he remembered the news on the night of the rainstorm. At that time, in the picture, several of them were sitting on the back threshold of the ambulance, and Team Xiao had bandages on their hands, which means that they had direct contact with the murderer.
[Could it be that scene or something, I have had a similar situation?] ]
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder. Gu Chenxi has always been convinced that Jing Li is just a substitute for Elos, although they all have the same physical characteristics, they can't imitate it in their hearts, and they can feel the greedy gaze through the layers of darkness.
[That gangster is doing something for Eros?] No, their purposes are different, it's enough to have one for the dead ghosts, there's no reason for them to get together.....]
"Hey! Pig! What are you thinking?! Zhang Jiajia shouted at him domineeringly.
"Huh??" Gu Chenxi came back to his senses from a trance.
"Ahh No, senior, I see that you are a little distracted, is there something on your mind? ”
In the next second, the ruffian-like expression on the girl's face disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her former gentle and virtuous appearance. Gu Chenxi looked at her, feeling a little furious in her heart.
[.... What's going on with her expression just now? Did she call me a pig's head??? ]
"Ahh Ah, I don't have anything to worry about, I'm just a little stupid after eating. Gu Chenxi smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Jiajia held her fists and her body swayed from side to side. She forced a smile on her face, but she was actually panicked.
[I'm going, I'm playing crazy and almost showing my original form.] ]
Gu Chenxi shrugged her eyebrows, shook the fist gloves in her hand, and was ready to 'teach' this girl.
After Zhang Jiajia threw a left hook, Gu Chenxi slapped her head with a fist glove.
"Ahh ...... hiss" she rubbed the back of her head, gritting her teeth in pain, "Heh.... Whew..."
"Hey! Ha! ”
She punched each of the two fist gloves again, but Gu Chenxi grabbed the gap and struck her head with the two fist gloves.
"Hmm~~~~Hmph~~~"
Zhang Jiajia's expression was painful, and she held her head with both hands and spoke. When the pain subsided, she jumped up again, swaying from side to side.
She looked at Gu Chenxi seriously, and suddenly, he stretched out his right hand and pointed behind her, with a solemn expression. Zhang Jiajia didn't think much about it, so she turned around and looked around.
'Boom! Another blow to the head, she screamed in pain, and covered her head very unwillingly.
"Babbling !!!!" The girl didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and went straight at him with anger, but the boy turned around and dodged him.
Then, Gu Chenxi took her head in his arms, and kept smashing her head with a fist glove in his right hand.
"Ahh Ha!!! It hurts, it hurts!!! ”
Gu Chenxi couldn't see any expression on his face, but his heart had already blossomed, and the girl in his arms was stubborn in her bones, although her physical coordination may not be very good, she always wanted to fight back.
[Oh, watch me beat you to a pig's head.] ]
In the house, Zhang's mother stood in front of the window, looking at the two people outside the house and laughing.
The two of them made a fuss on the rooftop for a long time, and Jiajia didn't go back to the room to rest until ten o'clock. I was tired after playing outside for a long time, and after a simple wash, I went back to bed and fell asleep.
Zhang's mother turned off the lights in the room and replaced them with table lamps. She walked softly to her daughter's bedside, her slippers resting on the tiles without making a sound.
She leaned down and tugged at the horns of the quilt upwards, then reached out and stroked her daughter's forehead.
The mother carefully pulled the curtain on her daughter's head and watched her fall asleep. The long eyelashes, the slightly open lips glowed faintly under the lamp, and the body also fell with the breath. Mother Zhang looked at her with a happy smile on her face.
Since Jiajia went to college, she has rarely had such opportunities to be with her daughter again.
When cooking, I will worry about whether my daughter eats well or not, just what to do with her gluttonous mouth; When watching TV series, I will worry about whether my daughter will be deceived by a dog man, what should I do if I encounter a pervert?
Even before going to bed, she occasionally looks at the ceiling in a daze, she misses her daughter so much, after all, she is her own child, and she is reluctant to go anywhere.
I remember the first year of sending Jiajia to college, I was still smiling when I was leaving, and when I came home and saw her daughter's empty room, Zhang's mother sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Yes, she was only so old when she was born, and she had to pester herself every day to say that she was hungry, why was she suddenly not in front of her.
The mother sat at the head of her daughter's bed, just smiling and looking at her quietly, without making a sound.
'Click'
Gu Chenxi walked out of the rooftop room, turned around and carefully closed the door. He glanced at the sandalwood bracelet in his hand and slipped it into his pocket.
Just as he turned to leave, he saw his uncle standing by the fence, smoking a cigarette with his hands on it.
He greeted Gu Chenxi, spit out a cigarette and smiled at him.
"Boy, come and talk to me for a while."
The boy nodded and walked over to his uncle.
"I'm bothering you this time." Father Zhang looked at the night scene in the distance, squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette, "I'm old, I'm not very useful, and I can't grasp many things well." ”
Gu Chenxi looked at his side face, his temples were already snow-white, and his hair was blown up by the breeze from the roof, just a thin layer covering the top of his head. The skin is no longer flat and has many wrinkles. It was the side face of a mature man, the side face of an elderly father.
The boy lowered his eyes and smiled emotionally, and then he also put his arms on the fence and looked at the night scene in the distance.
"Wherever you are, you should help when you see a friend in trouble. Besides, you look very energetic, and your complexion is much better than mine. ”
After speaking, Gu Chenxi pointed to his dark circles, and Father Zhang also laughed when he saw it.
One is a big boy in his early twenties, and the other is a father who is close to fifty. Although there is a difference in age, age is never a problem in the conversation between men.
After the laughter, Zhang's father breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have met many people in the workplace over the years, so many that I can't tell the difference between friends and colleagues, so few people can escape my eyes." ”
He turned his head and looked at Gu Chenxi with a serious expression.
"You are not simple, there is a calmness in your eyes, that is the unique calm of the old city that has experienced strong winds and waves, if it were me, I must be a little jealous of you."
Gu Chenxi listened to him speak, and he didn't look like he was going to defend himself. When talking to a man who is genuinely talking to you, you don't need to hide anything.
"But somehow, my stupid daughter seems to be obsessed, she just thinks you are very reliable, and she can believe anything you say."
The cigarette in the man's mouth was almost burned to the end, and he breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of the rest of the cigarette, and then spit out the cloud of smoke.
"My daughter is older, I can't take care of it." He looked at Gu Chenxi again, with more longing in his eyes, "The day after tomorrow, my mother and I will go back, I am such a daughter, if you are free, help me take care of it." ”
Gu Chenxi looked at his uncle's eyes, there were many fine lines squeezed at the corners of his eyes, his eyebrows were a little curled, and his face was pale blue after shaving. Sure enough, no matter how powerful a person is, he will still get old.
The boy nodded to him and accepted his request.
Father Zhang patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, as if relieved, and walked in the direction of the door.
"Call me if there's anything going on, and I'll do it for you."
The uncle walked to the door and winked at the boy before opening it and entering.
Gu Chenxi smiled, and there was some envy of this family in his heart. He leaned against the fence and reminisced about the past.
It was about a few months ago, when Gu Chenxi went back to his hometown to sort out his things, he inadvertently dug out his father's diary. He picked it up and held it in his hand, thinking that it would contain secrets related to his father.
He flipped through the diary, only to find that the contents were different from what he had expected.
'On May 19, 1997, my son called me dad for the first time, and sure enough, the hard work of changing diapers and breastfeeding was worth it..."
Gu Chenxi shrugged his eyebrows, and he continued to flip down.
'On April 3, 2002, my son went to elementary school, and this kid grew up so fast that he was about to reach my waist..."
'July 14, 2006, don't forget to go to Lao Cai to find a full set of "SpongeBob SquarePants" for your son after work tomorrow'
On May 18, 2007, my son got into a fight at school, and the other parent was a jerk. I've figured out the other party's itinerary, and I must be clean and neat when I do it the day after tomorrow..'
'On November 3rd, 2009, I tried to make beef noodles for my son and failed, so let's go to the market tomorrow to buy them...'
He clearly remembered that dinner, only the smell of salted duck eggs on the whole table was normal, and during the meal, his father was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look up at him.
On August 24, 2011, the child went to high school, and it seemed that the same table was his junior high school classmate named Qiaoran, and this stinky boy was around the girl all day long, and he didn't go home for dinner. ’
'On August 13, 2013, the child named Qiaoran passed away, and the son was very sad and came back with a pot of dying flowers..."
At the beginning of 2014, the gang still found me, and I needed to make a decision. If I could, I would like to send my son to college in person....'
A few large teardrops fell on the paper, staining the blue pen words into an inky blue. Gradually, the boy burst into tears, and his thoughts turned into floods that broke through the dam.
Since his death, he has rarely spoken to his father again, immersed in pain all day long, neglecting his most precious and only loved ones.
We live in different lands, and each person is unique. When we are proud of our differences, we also forget what everyone has in common.
Sometimes language differences make communication difficult, but there are words that we remember since we were born and will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
