No one ate much in the evening, and the food was almost untouched. Yan San'er didn't say a word from beginning to end, Lei Fang was in a trance, ate a meal, and looked back in the direction of Leijiazhuang several times. My grandfather has been in a coma, and although my father told me not to worry, I can't rest assured anyway.

In the evening, it started to rain and I couldn't sleep.

It was raining so hard that I couldn't sleep when I lay down, so I simply sat up again. Lei Fang took the hairpin and picked the wick and stared at the lamp in a daze.

"I didn't expect that there was a hole in this rockery. How can a place that looks so small from the outside, but how can it be so big inside? ”

I didn't say anything.

Outside, the rain curtain was like a curtain, and the patio was lit up with two bamboo lanterns, and the smoke was shrouded in fog, and the shadows of the trees were misty. The lightning flashed, illuminating the outside as if it were day, and it was clear. The surrounding stone walls were erected like knives, and the bean-sized raindrops made the flower tree next to the door tremble in the rain.

Lei Fang whispered, as if talking to himself: "In the past, when it rained, I liked to run outside, and I didn't like to use umbrellas. My sister always said that I was a water duck in my last life. She is different from me, when it rains, she likes to read quietly, play chess, write, and she says that the sound of rain makes her feel at ease. ”

She came over and stood beside me: "I don't know where my sister is now...... Maybe she's worried about me, too. ”

Refen's unexpected disappearance is just as unpredictable. I don't know what Yao Zhengyan said to his master that night. Lei Zhuang and Lei Fen are now missing.

Lei Fen's complexion was not very good, and his cheeks were not as rosy as usual. I lowered my voice: "You go to bed early." ”

"I can't sleep, maybe I slept too soundly last night." She took my hand, and I could feel the coldness of her fingertips: "Xiaosheng, all this...... It's so unreal. How could such a thing happen, the entire Leijiazhuang, but the two of us survived. Others. Housekeeping, dates, pears, pomegranates...... They were all dead. It was all like a nightmare, and I always thought that maybe I would wake up from this nightmare in the next moment, and when I woke up, nothing happened, everyone was alive and well, and my sister was happily married. Grandpa is still grandpa, the people I know, the people I like are still with me......"

But now. There was only one me by her side.

And I can't do anything about her confusion and sadness.

All I could say was, "Sleep." ”

There is probably only time to soothe grief and heal wounds.

Time will erase everything, make people forget and look down. The scars will heal gradually, leaving only one mark in the memory.

Lei Fang nodded.

When I took off my shoes and socks, I saw blood on the soles of her socks.

Her foot was injured at some point, and she didn't even feel it at all. The socks are stuck to my feet and I can't take them off.

Lei Fang said nonchalantly: "It doesn't hurt much, it's probably blistered and worn out." ”

"Does it hurt? I'll get you some medicine. ”

"Don't go," Lei Fang shook his head: "It's raining so hard......"

"Then you can't just leave it alone. Don't wait for a minor injury to deteriorate into a serious injury, and then you won't have time to regret it. ”

I picked up a pen on the table and flicked my fingers. The pen was transformed into an oil-paper umbrella with light bamboo bones.

"I'll come when I go, you wait for me."

I went to my father. The rain was smashing into the ground, splashing water droplets that soaked the upper of my shoes. By the time I got to my father's house, my shoes were soaking wet.

My father sat under the lamp reading a book, and his leisurely and quiet appearance was like a painting. He put down his book and walked over. I took the umbrella from my hand.

"Why are you here now?"

"Lei Fang has blood blisters on the soles of his feet, does my father have medicine here?"

"Yes. You wait. ”

My father took out a bamboo branch medicine box from the shelf, opened it and took out a packet of medicine powder for me: "Wash your feet and take medicine, sleep all night and tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm." I took the medicine and didn't leave right away.

"Father...... Yan San'er doesn't know who I am or our relationship now......"

"Hmm." Father nodded.

From the time my father met Yan San'er, we intentionally or unintentionally concealed the father-daughter relationship.

It was not discussed beforehand, but this tacit understanding ...... Perhaps this is another role of father-daughter affection. I didn't tell my father, and he didn't tell me anything, but I was a former witch queen, and it was really not appropriate to ring the gong and talk to people.

"There's something I don't quite understand."

The father asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My master......" I paused, and a faint smile appeared on my father's face. I cleared my throat and continued, "Ji Yu and Yan San'er, I bought them from human traffickers back then?" ”

Father nodded: "That's right. ”

"Then, there should be kindness and no grudges between me and them...... But after I knew my original name, I asked the teacher and Ji Yu, but he didn't have a good impression of Wu Ning at all, and he didn't say a word of kindness. ”

My father poured me a cup of tea, but did not immediately answer my question.

I looked at my father with a blank eye.

Usually I always keep my words in my heart, some things, some people, can never be said or mentioned. I can't talk to anyone about my past. Maybe it's because I've been suppressed for too long, but now in front of my father, I can't control it anymore.

Father is no stranger.

I want to put all my doubts, worries, thoughts ...... An ancient brain was poured into his father. I also want to get comfort, protection, and liberation from him.

"Didn't you recall the past in Tujiazhuang?"

"yes."

"The accident in Tujiazhuang, Ji Yu and Yan San'er should have also gone, don't you have any impression of them?"

I honestly shook my head.

I really haven't seen them in Tujiazhuang.

Or maybe I've seen them, but I've ignored them, forgotten them?

"At that time, one of them was just a little apprentice who had just apprenticed, and the other might not even be a little apprentice, just a little servant, you either didn't pay attention."

Shigong said that he also went to the meeting of Tujiazhuang, and met Wu Ning, Yao Zisheng and others, and he witnessed the changes in Tujiazhuang from beginning to end.

But I don't really have any impression of him.

I picked up the medicine and held up the umbrella again: "I'll go back and deliver the medicine to Lei Fang first." ”

I was touching Yan San'er at the door, and he nodded at me a little carelessly, and asked casually, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm here to find something for Mr. Wu."

I went out and he came in.

When I went back, Lei Fang was already asleep. I looked at her brow that had only spread slightly in her sleep, looked at the medicine bottle in my hand, and decided not to wake her up and take the medicine. It's not easy for her to fall asleep right now. You can wait until you wake up to wipe the medicine - for now, let her sleep well. (To be continued)
