Chapter 10: "Punishment" and "Rules"
A mother.
Aside from these two words, Dafang couldn't find any more appropriate words to describe the woman standing not far away.
Gentleness, tolerance, peace, kindness, beauty, etc., etc., almost all beautiful adjectives can be reflected in this mother, as a mother, the image of a woman is almost perfect.
If the mother earth that people often say is real, and she wants to find an image spokesperson, then this woman in the eyes of Dafang is definitely the most suitable person, and she is convinced of it by the generosity who has read countless people.
From the very beginning, the mother has been paying attention to the little girl with extremely soft eyes, and the love for the little girl in her eyes can be felt by anyone, and after noticing the generous gaze, the mother just nodded slightly and did not speak.
"Dad, let's go home, okay?" The little girl's impatient and complicated plea mixed with gains and losses sounded softly in Dafang's ears.
The fragility contained in that voice, like a millimeter of glass, touched the softest place in Dafang's heart.
At this moment, Professor Dafang, who has never lied in his 50 years of teaching career, hesitated.
He raised his eyes again and looked at the mother, but the other seemed to ignore the generous gaze and only looked at the little girl tenderly.
"I, no... I can't go back right now. ”
When the word "yes" was not spoken, Dafang clearly felt that the little girl in his arms was stiff, and he did not hesitate and immediately changed his words.
Dafang looked in his arms, only to see the little girl secretly wiped her eyes, as if she wanted to hide her eyes that had already been reddened, after the little girl finished her own efforts, she raised her head to "look" at Dafang, and once again a happy smile appeared on her face, saying: "It doesn't matter, Yaya knows that Dad has been very busy~~ Very busy, Yaya is very well-behaved, Yaya is not in trouble, Yaya is waiting for Dad at home." ”
"Okay, I'll definitely go to see Yaya soon." Dafang stroked the little girl's head, and at the same time there was a sense of complexity in her heart, how much does a five or six-year-old girl have to go through to be so understanding? Even Dafang didn't want to imagine it.
The little girl named Yaya seemed to be afraid of disturbing or wasting Dafang's time, so she climbed down from Dafang, and then stretched out her hand holding the two small squares in front of Dafang, and said with a smile: "Give this back to Dad, Dad said that when Yaya finds Dad, she will never need them again." ”
Dafang took it over, after all, there are two toys missing, presumably it will not have much bad impact on the little girl, if you don't pick it up, I'm afraid it will hurt the other party's heart.
After feeling generous, Yaya smiled even more happily, and she asked with some expectation, "Can Yaya talk to Dad often?" Yaya won't disturb Dad, Yaya will choose the period before going to bed. ”
"Well, of course." Dafang said softly.
"Heh, Dad, you take this, I'll use it to talk to you every night." The little girl jumped up for joy, and then, with her small hands, with great difficulty, tore off a butterfly hairpin stuck in the braid and handed it to Dafang.
Dafang took it and looked at the hairpin, and confirmed at a glance that this is a real high-tech product, with a wide range of communication positioning and other functions.
"Okay, we'll make up our minds." Dafang affirmed.
"Hee-hee, I knew Dad was the best." Yaya cheered a little carried away.
After the joy, it is time to say goodbye.
The woman walked over, took Yaya's little hand, and nodded slightly to Dafang, as if there was gratitude in her eyes. Then with the constant head of the head to wave to Dafang, and confirm the call to Dafang, after getting a generous response, knowing that Dad is still there and so happy little girl, gone, very slowly, very slowly disappeared in Dafang's sight.
When he couldn't see them anymore, Dafang remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask the other party's address, Dafang didn't pay too much attention to this, almost every patient with disappearance syndrome has a detailed record, although there is a high-level confidentiality mechanism, but if he really wants to check, it should still be possible to spend some effort.
Dafang retracted his gaze and looked at the two small squares, and at this moment, a figure flashed in the corner of his eye, and the figure of a blonde woman dressed in light blue clothes disappeared in a flash.
After glancing twice at the place where the other party had disappeared, Dafang didn't pay attention to it anymore, but looked at the two small squares.
These two things, not so much building blocks as two small boxes, there are two words vaguely engraved on the boxes, one box is engraved with "punishment", and the other is "rules", these two boxes seem to be impossible to open with ordinary methods, and Dafang has an inexplicable familiarity with them, but now is not the time to study, he put them away with butterfly hairpins and put them in his clothes pocket.
Dafang continued to walk towards home, and Da Hei, who had been quietly hiding behind Dafang, once again took a small step and followed.
The three-hundred-year-old man seems to be in a good mood now, this is the first time he has lied in the 50 years he has been a professor, but Dafang is not unhappy at all because he has violated his principles, on the contrary, he is very happy.
Whether it's a professor, a detective, or something else, when Dafang stands in the position of these professions, he tries to maintain extreme objectivity as much as possible, as we all know, the objective perspective is neutral, and neutrality usually means that it is not close to people.
But human beings are sensual creatures after all, and even if they live for more than 300 years, they can't jump out of this range. Dafang felt that this lie was very comfortable, even if this lie also brought corresponding responsibilities or burdens, but Dafang didn't care about these.
He can bear the mountain.
A quarter of an hour later, Dafang finally reached the door, and he suddenly realized that someone seemed to be waiting for him.
There were two slim black-haired girls, standing at the door of Dafang's home and his private office, one of them was a little shorter and stood quietly, while the other looked at both ends of the street, looking for Dafang's trace.
"Dafang~ You're back!" A black-haired girl ran to Dafang's eyes lively, and this girl was Li Qingfang.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time, where have you been?" Li Qingfang pouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Is there something wrong? Li Qingfang. Dafang, as always, asked with an expression that dealt specifically with this Li Qingfang, that is, with an expressionless face.
"Hehe, of course there's something, it's a commission, a commission." Li Qingfang raised her head and said very proudly.
"Xiao Nian, come over quickly." Li Qingfang beckoned to the other girl, looking at the other party with some hesitation, so she simply ran over, grabbed the other party's hand, and ran towards Dafang.
"Dafang, this is my classmate Zhang Nian, she has something she wants to entrust to you, this is a matter of human life, you can't ignore it." Li Qingfang said with a big grin.
"Xiao Nian, tell it yourself." Li Qingfang shook Zhang Nian's hand.
Dafang looked at Zhang Nian in front of her, she was nearly ten centimeters shorter than Li Qingfang, she looked thin, but her face was also very beautiful, but she wore a pair of black-framed myopia glasses, which covered a lot of brilliance, and the vitality on her face was not as vigorous as Li Qingfang, it seemed that she was a girl who liked to be quiet, not as lively as Li Qingfang.
Dafang saw that Zhang Nian seemed to be hesitating, so he said: "If there is something, just say it, I will never pass on other people's affairs, but before that, go to my office first." ”
After Dafang finished speaking, he smiled, Zhang Nian bit his lip thickly and nodded.
"I can finally enter Dafang's home." Li Qingfang showed a charming smile to the generous face.
Dafang turned a blind eye to this.
