Chapter 434: Farewell
In the note left by Lao Shi, it was not so clear, and only asked me to wait. There is no deadline for this wait, and the point is not knowing what to wait for here.
I waited for another two days, a little overwhelmed, and temporarily returned from here to the edge of the gate space. The entire underground space was still dark and quiet, so I got some wood and dragged it back.
With fuel, I feel much warmer after lighting a campfire, and most importantly, there is always a light in front of me, which will make people feel a little more at ease in this endless darkness. There was a small mirror in the backpack, and there was a sharp razor, and I shaved off all the fine hairs on my face in front of the mirror when I was fine.
The tiny mirror reflected my face, and although the fine hairs that covered my face had been shaved off, my facial muscles were atrophied, just like the muscles of my body. This atrophy made me look completely different from what I used to be, and it looked a little funny and a little scary.
When I put down the mirror, I even had an idea in my heart, I can only live in seclusion in an inaccessible place in my current state, even if I can live, when I return to the original city, I would rather die than go out to meet people with this half-human and half-ghost face every day.
The days of waiting here, there was nothing else to do but eat and sleep. My biological clock went into a very strange state, and the more I slept, the more I wanted to keep sleeping. I slept for two more days, and in one of my sleeps, I suddenly had a dream.
I dreamed of Su Shiren, and I also dreamed of a full stop. The two of them stood in front of me, one after the other. Su Shiren's face was still blank, without any expression.
It wasn't a nightmare, but I woke up from my sleep, and when I woke up, I was immediately startled, because by the light of the bonfire, which had not yet been extinguished, I saw two people standing in front of me.
It's Su Shiren and full stop coming.
I was amazed at why I had encountered the overlap between dream and reality. At the same time, I vaguely understood that Lao Shi asked me to wait here, was it just waiting for Su Shiren and full stop?
When I met Su Shiren this time, the feeling in my heart was completely different from the past. Although he no longer has much of a father's appearance and breath, the moment I look up at him, I still seem to be able to catch a little bit of my father's shadow.
He is Liandu, my father. However, I could not find the kindness and warmth that I had seen him before.
A lot of times, the human eye actually speaks, and he stands in front of me, silent. He could clearly see that there was mixed emotions in my gaze.
I have to thank him for giving me life and growing up, and for giving me the warmth of my father and making me healthy and happy. I owe him a nurturing grace that I cannot repay in any eternity.
But I hate him, he shouldn't have killed so many people.
"Why did you kill Aunt Hua?" I looked at him for a long, long time, and before I knew it, tears had slipped from the corners of my eyes.
He didn't answer me, he knew that I had seen all this, and no amount of explanation would be useless.
I had a lot of accusatory words, but I only said one sentence, and I couldn't say it anymore. Because I saw the full stop behind him open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
In a sense, the full stop even understands him better than I do. Full stop knew what he was doing it for.
Possibly, all the people in this world can question him and hate him, but only I can't. Because everything he does, it's for me.
It's not my job to blame someone who is single-mindedly for themselves.
Was he right or wrong? Judging what he did from a different standpoint, you can't say it's right, but you can't say it's wrong.
In this world, there may never be real right and wrong.
I couldn't say the rest of the words, so I just stared at him blankly, letting the tears run wild on my cheeks.
"Don't be sad." Full stop walked up to me, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to me, and said, "With these cigarettes, we have more important things to do." ”
I slowly reached out and took the cigarette from my hand, and he lit one for me. There is no need to ask where these two people came from. It wasn't until this time that I understood what it meant when I told me before the full stop that Su Shiren was his father.
I kept my head down and smoked, refusing to go to see my father again. I don't know if I resent him, whether I hate him or not, but I just don't want to see him.
"Don't do that." Full stop squatted beside me and let out a long sigh: "Do you know that he can't move anymore, and he is holding on to come." What was supposed to be a three-day walk, we walked for seven days. Don't you know what he's here for? ”
Puff ......
As soon as he finished saying these words, his father's body shook slightly, and he fell to the ground. He didn't pretend, this time it was a solid fall. I dropped the cigarette in my hand, rushed over to him, and helped him up.
His kung fu is actually very good, but now he is like a tiger that has lost his teeth, and he no longer has the agility and agility he used to have. He couldn't control his balance, and even after he fell, he couldn't get up, his forehead cracked, and blood ran down his cheeks.
My tears didn't dry in the first place, and when I saw him bleeding profusely, I couldn't control my emotions at all.
His face was slowly changing, the muscles of his face were squirming slightly, and it may have been a minute or two for his whole person to seem to have completely changed.
I know the purpose of my father's journey, dragging his already weakened body. He just wants to see me again, he wants to stand in front of me as he really is.
Father, Lu Fangding and Zhao Sanyuan, the three of them, were cursed by the face for about the same time, Zhao Sanyuan and Lu Fangding were gone, but my father was still struggling to insist. The pain caused by the face curse in the later stage is very difficult to bear, and as an ordinary person, it may really be self-free. But my father has been insisting, and what he has insisted on is a belief.
He wants to shield me from the wind and rain, and he wants to bear all the calamities for me. This is a father's junior high school, and there is nothing else to do.
The consciousness of the father of "child ......" seems to have begun to dissipate. I believe that if it weren't for me, then he might not have survived now, and it is because of this hope in his heart that he can persist to this day. The moment he saw me, his mind probably collapsed.
This may be the time of his death, he is leaving this world.
I had any more complaints in my heart, but when faced with my father's life and death, these complaints ceased to exist in an instant. My tears flowed more and more, and I couldn't stop it.
My father probably couldn't even speak, so he barely called out to me, and all that was left was his gaze. At this time, what do I remember?
It is a nursery rhyme that my father coaxed me to sleep on a summer night when I was a child, and it is a kite that he took my hand to fly in the sky when the spring breeze blew, and it was a beautiful dream that never ended.
But now, this dream, which would never have been woken up, was shattered invisibly.
A lot of words, you don't have to say it directly, at least I know him, and he knows me. His love for me is the deepest and truest love in the world. I have no reason to blame him anymore.
"Dad...... "I look at him now, there is nothing I can do, I can't save him, and I know deep down that even if he can Banda Jue, it is possible for his consciousness to stay in this world for a while, but he will not do this. Through his eyes, I saw the helplessness hidden in the depths.
Those people he killed, in fact, it was not that he really wanted to kill, but from his position, he had no other choice. He regrets it, and he suffers, he can't live anymore, what he hopes to do most now may be to float to that distant world in person, and then find Aunt Hua and them, and say to them, I'm sorry.
And what I can do is to make him feel more comfortable before leaving. I put away all my distractions, and at this moment, I just felt that I was facing my father, and that was it.
The father's hand slowly lifted up, and he used all the strength of his body to raise his hand. He stroked my hair gently, just as I did when I was a child and he walked hand in hand on the village path.
I really hope that I will never grow up and will always be in his arms, without sorrow, without worries.
"Kid...... Take care...... "Father's hand slowly drooped down, the last words he left for me were to let me take care, his eyes froze, but in the eyes that had lost their vitality, I could still see a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"Dad......" I couldn't help crying, I hadn't cried like this for many years, but I couldn't help it, all the emotions squeezed in my heart completely exploded. I cried very sadly, because from this moment on, I knew that I would never see him again, the father who had raised me for half my life.
I didn't have any strength in my body, and I couldn't extricate myself for a long time when I looked at my father, who had stopped breathing.
This is the first time in my life that I have experienced the feeling of loss. I don't want to experience this feeling again for the rest of my life, because sometimes, losing it will be more painful than dying.
This is my farewell to my father, and it is far less sensational than it is in movies and television. The farewell was quiet, and it took only ten minutes before and after.
I only hope that in another world, he will no longer have pain and trouble, and he can live in the way he chooses.
