It's still the same human skin mask, it's still this father's face. After the man kowtowed to me three times, he put his father's face aside.

For a moment, the fear in my heart seemed to have vanished, and I looked at the corpse and the strange man in front of me with no trace of nostalgia. Looking back at the casual madman on the side, I simply kicked him and said unhurriedly, "Hey! Tell me, if you can't give me an answer today, I'm going to upset you."

The madman looked at me with a smile and turned around and walked to the door to the bed, he picked up the freshly preserved human skin mask, looked at it carefully in his hand, and couldn't help but say to me: "Zhang Lian, if you had asked me to pretend to be your father from the beginning, what kind of pattern would it be?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me the answer!" Suppressing the roar in my heart, I knew that talking nonsense with a madman would only delay time again and again.

Seeing that I was bent on answering, the madman had a bit of a conscience, and said something boring, so he lit a cigarette and told the man to smoke by the window, and then told me the answer.

The guy smoked a cigarette and explained to me the ins and outs of it all in a strange, seemingly sincere but slightly contemplative tone.

"Your father Zhang Lie is also our big boss, since your mother is seriously ill and your brother left, he left the seclusion in the mountains alone, don't ask us why, I can regret to tell you that we don't know anything about it like you, we just guess that he has his own things to do and his own mission to finish, everything is far more complicated than you think, and many things we can't tell you and can't tell you."

"What are you talking about so much? I just wanted to ask why all this is happening today, and why you, like him, wear this face that originally belonged to my father! ”

"Do you have any questions to ask your father, he is now in the health center, by the way, by the way, I will give you a reminder, you may still see a lot of fake fathers with this human skin face in the future, but I can definitely give you an answer, as long as you see Zhang Lie in the health center, it will definitely not be a fake anymore, you hurry up now, it seems that it is still too late, if you meet a little later, you can only follow fate......"

The madman opened the door and glanced at me, and after calling him a bastard in my heart, I immediately spread my steps and ran out of the door.

Xiong Xiaohei, who was guarding the door, saw me come out and was just about to step forward when I pushed him away and almost fell to the ground, I don't have time to explain to you now, and all the answers will be answered in the dilapidated health center in my mother's ward......

For the first time, I didn't stop chatting with the old lady at the door on the side of the road, as if I heard her shout to me, but unfortunately I really didn't dare to delay a little time if I was here.

When I came to the health center, it was still crowded with people, and I was like a barbarian, respecting the old and loving the young, and I went on a rampage, and finally came to the door of my mother's ward.

It was still empty except for my mother, and I anxiously asked the nurse on the side if anyone had come to visit just now, and she seemed to be frightened by my anxiety, so she was stunned for a few seconds before pointing to the door curtain on the side.

I ran through the hallway and through the curtains, and finally I found the familiar back of the trunk on a lonely bench in an open place. Suddenly I was a little afraid to move forward, even if the truth was about to be revealed in front of me, I was still a little afraid and a little staggered, maybe this is the familiar feeling that my father has always brought me, wanting to get close to madness but afraid of majesty and stopping.

It was only after smoking a cigarette that I gradually felt a little relieved and approached him.

This face seemed to me somewhat confused and uneasy now, and I couldn't tell if the man in front of me was my father or if someone else had put on his mask.

"Sit down"

Two simple words came out of his mouth, I wanted to find evidence and find out the flaws from these two words, but suddenly found that it seemed that my father's voice had already begun to erode in my impression, and I couldn't tell what characteristics my father's voice had always existed, whether it was low or heavy, hoarse or sexy?

Sitting with him in a daze, I didn't choose to speak immediately, but took the cigarette he handed me and looked at the mountains together.

"You hid and secretly smoked with Wang Qiu before you became an adult, right?"

I was surprised and delighted by the sudden question, and I nodded to him in response and awkwardly avoided his gaze.

"After your brother left, I chose to go into the mountain alone, and you must have seen my mask in our house."

I nodded stunned and didn't answer, this unprecedented real depression made me decisively feel that this person was my father, and his majesty always swept around me between three or two words, without a little emotion, but it has always made my mood ups and downs.

"You said how long it would take for you to find out if I didn't take the initiative to debunk it for you today?"

"I ...... I probably won't find out for a long, long time, after all, ......"

For a while, some words were blocked in my mouth, and even if I couldn't say it, it was still difficult for me to swallow.

My father turned his head to look at me directly, and during the time he looked at me, he touched my hair for the first time, and then said without any emotion: "After all, you have never looked at my face closely, have you?" ”

I thought it would be my father who was embarrassed to look away from me, but I still couldn't look at him head-on, and at most I threw my eyes aside.

"Our father and son have always had too many regrets, of course I am an unqualified father, to be precise, I should not be worthy of being your father, how can I have my own children who can't even distinguish their own masks, this is a long-term regret for us......"

Seeing that my father suddenly began to sigh, I wanted to relieve him but I couldn't find any relevant words to persuade him, what my father said was actually right, my understanding of him was not even as familiar as my teachers and classmates at school.

"You have to remember one thing, all the changes and decisions I have made are closely related to you, I will tell you slowly in the future, now I don't have much time to do things, I can only tell you one thing when I meet today between father and son, all these human skin masks are all planned by me for your life"

"Planning for my life?" I couldn't help but think hard in my heart, wanting to immediately understand my father's intentions and reach a tacit understanding between father and son with him, but after thinking about it, I didn't have a clue at all except for the delay.

My father saw my unwillingness and embarrassment, handed me a cigarette and lit it, and said: "Our family is actually changing for you, and when you grow up again, you will be able to understand, the reason why I let people pretend to be myself to stay at home and stay with you is actually to give you a kind of companionship, Zhang Lonely...... You have been too silent and too cowardly since you were a child, your husband was born in heaven and earth, but you regard the family as more important than anything else, after your mother is sick and my brother is gone, I have more and more things, many places and many occasions need me to appear, so naturally there will be no time to stay by your side, if I suddenly leave and never return, you will definitely be like a dead heart, and it is even more difficult to make a decision in the face of life, I let these masked fathers accompany you, in fact, I want to give you a home experience all the time, I know that no matter what dangers and difficulties you encounter, you will always think of your home first, and if there is no one in your family, how will you have the courage to face these difficulties? I decided to tell you the truth of all this today, because your experience during this time has made me see that you have indeed made a lot of changes than before, and I think that from now on, even if you don't have my shadow by your side, you can face all the dangers on your own road."

"Father...... Actually, they've been paying attention to my changes, whether or not these dummies are secretly helping me spy on me, in fact, they're always by my side in their own way, right? ”

The tone was a little choked, and I suddenly realized that my father had already made plans to leave, but for the sake of my growth, he couldn't rest assured of my change, so he found someone to replace himself and placed it by my side, not only those fakes that I couldn't detect in the past, but also the crazy people who had been haunted and didn't save me from fire and water were the eyes of the needle that my father planned to carefully arrange by my side.

"You can blame me for deceiving your feelings by doing this, you can hate me and scold me, but you must know that everything I do is for your own good, I just want you to feel better, in fact, it is just to comfort my selfishness......"

My father looked up at the sky, and for the first time I saw in his eyes the teardrop love that I had always dreamed of. So ill-intentioned, so planned for me, but I have been complaining that my father has never shown love to me, revealing affection, it turns out that my father is the same as me, but there are some things that are hindered in expressing and cannot find a good way to express them.

For a while, I really wanted to put aside all my regrets, open my arms and hug my father tightly, even if it was only for a few seconds, even if it was only today.

"Alright...... I have already given you the answer you want, and I have one more thing to remind you, not many people in the village know about my departure, and I will not live in the village as usual for a long time, so in the future, there will be people who will appear in our house with my face, and you should not be embarrassed by them, to put it nicely, they are also their own family members doing things for their father, and when you grow up a little more, I will show you all the mysteries one by one. All your doubts can only be endured now, and when the time comes, our father and son will finally put aside all distractions and live together honestly."

I smiled and nodded with my father, in fact, the mystery of all this is nothing to me, my father has my father's plan, I don't interfere too much, today I heard him say such a serious relief to me, I have been satisfied, in fact, as long as I am sure that my father is still alive, he still loves me, and will be by my side in the future, then all these things I can't understand will not have regretful shortcomings at all, I can treat it as if I didn't see it all, I don't know and don't talk about it, Just let time be the best explanation and the best answer for each other.

"Father...... Can I give you a hug? ”

Hard-headed, I finally said the long-cherished wish buried in my heart for more than ten years, my father turned his head to me and smiled slightly, and then opened his hands to me, opening my long-awaited mind.

I can't wait to use all my strength, while enjoying the great father's love, I can still feel my father's slightly trembling body and his sweat-soaked clothes behind him......
