Sycamore Falls Chapter 46. Tired birds return home
After lying in the wilderness all night without sleep, he did not feel tired, and even his five senses were extremely clear, he could clearly hear the small insects around him, and he could also feel that there were ants passing by with their tentacles to visit him, he had seen the brilliant night sky, and the night cry no longer felt so terrible, now it was almost dawn, the sky was still gray, and the eastern clouds passed through some gray light mixed with dust, perhaps this was the last dawn he saw.
He no longer wants to live in this turbid world, all the good things in life have now been destroyed, and he can no longer find anything worthy of his affection, only in the unknown world under the emptiness can he have his joy, he no longer has any courage to protect Shi'an, he just wants to return to the arms of the benevolent Mother Earth as soon as possible, to pursue the peace in his heart.
Three days ago, he received a call from Gu Fang's father, who angrily scolded him for killing his daughter, pointed out that he was the culprit, and deprived him of the right to see Gu Fang for the last time. In the face of the angry Gu father, where did he have a chance to argue, only to hear about Gu Fang's tragedy and determination, she actually jumped off the tall building for him, and the war that lasted for three years finally ended in blood and tears.
He and Gu Fang planned to go to the end of the world and escape to live in a paradise that no one knew about, but this agreement was broken before they were prepared, and Gu Fang also became a caged bird and lost his freedom, perhaps because of the accumulated emotions, Gu Fang was forced to go to the point of no return.
He thought back to his more than 20 years of affairs, counting his merits and demerits in his memory, but what he thought about most was not the happy things, but the people he owed in his life, Zhuang Yiwen, Gu Fang, and Su Yuan had left him forever, and he himself would soon come to the end of his life. When he arrived in that world, it might be a kind of happiness to be able to meet them again, he thought in his heart, but he couldn't empty himself after all, he only opened his eyes and wasted his spirit.
The long remembrance had drained his energy, he could no longer think in complexities, and when his eyes were finally closed, he seemed to be about to sleep in the boundless darkness to dream, and to dream that would never wake up, but a childish cry pierced his soul and made him stop from the edge of the cliff.
The sycamore flower fell from the tree just in time, just in time to land on his moist eyes, and he vaguely saw the staggering child, running towards him, but his mouth was calling for his father, and the peculiar throbbing hidden in his blood made him reconscious, and instantly filled with love for the world again.
The immature face, the red face was the same as when Su Yuan was a child, she babbled, crying very sadly, he comforted the child in his arms, looked at Zhao Dan who came closer, and his eyes were full of inquiry.
"Mr. Tang, this is the child of you and Miss Su Yuan, nicknamed Tian Tian, I promised Miss Su Yuan to hide it from you, send this child to the welfare home, and let your father and daughter be separated for so long, it is my fault......"
After listening to Zhao Dan's explanation, he finally understood what Su Yuan planned to do back then, so he had to sigh, put Tiantian on his back, and prepared to go home to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhao Dan who came from afar. She can be regarded as her benefactor, if she hadn't brought Tian Tian back to her side in time, maybe there would be another lost child in this world, and he would have made irreparable mistakes.
His back is very strong, just because he has the responsibility of a father from now on, he can no longer escape from reality, can no longer let the deceased disappoint, he only feels that his heart is full of strength, he wants to be a father who stands up to the sky, and supports a peaceful and peaceful pure land for his daughter, so that she can have the love of her father and grow up happily and peacefully.
A wisp of white smoke floated from the gray tiled house, and he lit a stove fire, took out some ingredients from the refrigerator for stir-frying, and grabbed some sour radish and cowpea pickles from the jar in the shade, and wanted to make a sauerkraut fish with the grass carp in the big tank in the yard, and soon the square table was full. Tian Tian is very sensible and not picky, she eats happily at the square table, she does not scatter the rice grains everywhere, she eats very clean in the small bowl, she seems to be better than behaving in front of her father, shaved the iron rice bowl.
Before the meal was finished, he only heard a strong voice in the courtyard calling his name, he went out to look but didn't know him, but there was Gu Fang who had already died next to him, how could he not understand that he was going through a test, but the huge surprise of coming back from the dead hit his heart and made him speechless for a while.
"A-Ning, I invited my father, you have to behave well, what are you doing here, don't invite us in to talk." Gu Fang winked at him.
"This daughter is older, her elbows are always turned out, my old man can't resist her to come to see you, don't think I'm kind, if you make me dissatisfied, this marriage is still no way!" Father Gu's face was serious, not angry and arrogant.
"Uncle Gu came from afar, it's hard work, let's eat in the first house, I made a lot of dishes today, Ah Fang, and your favorite green pepper meat." He came back to his senses and welcomed the two of them into the house.
"Dad, come back for dinner, the dishes are almost cold!" Tian Tian ran out of the door with an iron rice bowl and called him.
"Tiantian, what are you running around, didn't you see Dad talking about things again, let's go to dinner first, and I'll come back to eat with you after Dad finishes talking later, obedient!" Zhao Dan immediately rushed out, looking very embarrassed.
Tian Tian was brought into the house by Zhao Dan, and the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became solemn, just because Tian Tian's shout broke the good opportunity that Gu Fang had created for a long time.
"I said that you have my daughter, how good it is, as a result, this gave me a dismount before I entered the door, you even have the idea of beating my daughter even if you have children and wives, you ask your heart, do you still have that face?" Father Gu scolded him angrily, and anyone could see his excitement at the moment.
"Dad, don't be so excited, okay, let him explain first, he's not that kind of person!" Gu Fang tugged at her father's sleeve and begged him.
"Then let me ask you, is that girl your own daughter?"
"Yes."
"What about the woman, is that your wife?"
"It's not! She was just a friend of my daughter's mother and came to see me today. ”
"Okay, you! I didn't even let go of my friends, it's really cowardly! And the face said that I was sincere to my daughter! Fangfang, my good daughter, do you dare to like such a person? Come home with Dad, don't associate with this kind of person anymore, it's just staining my eyes! ”
"Dad, you're too extreme, he's definitely not such a person! Let me ask him first. ”
"What else to ask! Come home with me, everyone else has a daughter, you still want to get over, you don't want this face, Dad still wants this face, what is the good result with this kind of person, I finally found you, you still have to go into the tiger's mouth, you have to be considerate of Dad's heart! ”
"Mr. Gu! I can't bear to hear you say it for so long, as an outsider, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, but I have to be fair, these remarks of yours are absolutely slanderous to Mr. Tang. He is definitely not an abusive person, he has always been sincere to your daughter, if I hadn't come early today, you would probably only be able to see his corpse now, and Tiantian was brought back from the welfare home today, I don't want her to be a homeless child forever, her mother is Ms. Su Yuan. I suggest you find out more before making a decision, he is not one of those who abandon his wife and daughter, and he only learned today that he has a daughter. Do you know the relationship between him and your daughter, I would like to ask you to think more about it and ask more, do you think it is your daughter's vision that is wrong, or is Mr. Tang's acting skills too high enough to deceive your daughter for so many years? Zhao Dan's words were sharp, and he was not afraid of the angry Gu father.
The courtyard was already tense, but the silent atmosphere was broken by Ke Mu, who came to deliver the goods.
"Old Tang, Xiao Kezi, I sent what you wanted!" His loud trumpet voice, cultivated deep in the mountains, attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, when did there be so many people in this courtyard, but it doesn't matter how many people there are, it's lively! Old Tang, didn't I say that it was really bad for you to leave guests in the yard, and you didn't invite them in? He suddenly realized that something was not right, so he handed him the contents of the bag and ran away.
"Old Tang, don't ask me to carve these things next time, I haven't been in that business for many years, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't do these bad things again, there are many cars on the other side of the road, it seems that they are coming to you, you can go and see it later, I'll go first!" There are a lot of things to visit! He took a step and ran back in the field as if it were windy.
Gu's father's expression eased, and asked him to show him the things in his hand, the wood carving was Gu Fang's image, and the other piece of jade had a hundred characters on it, talking about the relationship with Su Yuan. He originally planned to ask Ke Mu to send something to the back mountain to find him, so that he could take care of his affairs during the estimated time, and he would not end up being taken away by the beast.
Gu's father didn't say a word, he pulled Gu Fang into the room, and began to examine it carefully, the thick stacked letters in his drawer, as well as the diaries of countless nights, were displayed in his hands, he looked up at the photos in the frame and sighed, it seemed that he had aged a lot all of a sudden.
"Boy, come here! I'm ready for you two to get married! You'll have to take good care of my daughter in the future, and I'll leave her to you!" Gu's father put his daughter's hand on his hand and said earnestly.
Gu's father's figure quickly disappeared into the field, and Zhao Dan took out a quaint box and handed it back to him, and there was a pair of dragon and phoenix pendants lying in the box, which was carefully carved by Su Yuan for the two of them, containing her most sincere wish.
"A-Ning, the little kite said in the letter that you haven't named Tiantian yet, you are really careless!"
"It's better to call it Su Tang, sweet Su Tang, I think she will like this name!"
With infinite affection for Su Yuan in his eyes, as well as tenderness for the person in front of him, he grabbed Gu Fang's hand and looked at her fixedly.
"A-Ning, I will be Su Tang's mother, and I will treat her as my own child!"
"Sweet! Come to Mom! She waved at Su Tang, who was looking around looking for her relatives, and motioned for her to come over.
Su Tang smiled heartily and rushed to go again, but the road in the village was not better than in the city, she still fell unexpectedly, Gu Fang quickly ran to the front to comfort her, but she didn't cry, only a sweet smile.
The sycamore flowers have fallen, the weary birds are now home, and the wind is sparse with the deep green leaves, beating the nocturne of the companion to sleep.
The red makeup is not much for ten miles, and there is Su Kite's smile in the wine glass.
