I don't know why, the poppy felt that there was a sense of trustworthiness in this man, and the crow on the man's head, although funny and wordy, was very kind, like a friend. Although the beauty has never made real friends.

They say Dad is a good person. But why did everyone except Mom say that Dad was a bad guy for many years before? Even Enkun Ah Gong did not deny it.

The beauty once went to ask Enkun Ah Gong, because Enkun was the most respected person in Yuziba. What Enkun said, everyone should listen.

She asked, "Ah Gong, is my father really a poisonous scorpion, a bad person?" ”

Old Enkun always smacked his cigarette and said, "God knows! ”

She had also heard other people in the dam ask Nkun Ah Gong about his father, Yu Gang.

Old Enkun always smacked his cigarette and said, "Don't mention him, don't mention him." ”

The beauty felt that her father must be someone who was very annoying to Enkun Ah Gong, so he was reluctant to mention it.

The clear water of the pool reflects the sky, and some white clouds float.

At this time, the surface of the water suddenly shook, and a woman's figure appeared in the light.

It was a beautiful woman, dressed in a black and red embroidered coat, with her hair coiled up at the back of her head, and a beautiful headscarf on her head. She walked leisurely out of the water, like a girl who had just come home from picking mulberries.

"Mom!" The poppy cried out excitedly when she saw the woman.

The beauty wanted to pounce on her mother's arms, but she found that her body couldn't move. She struggled desperately, but to no avail, not even to move a finger.

She looked at Aoki with a crow on his head as if she were pleading.

She heard Aoki say, "Relax, adjust your breathing, relax, don't think about jumping." ”

She began to take deep breaths, trying to relax herself.

Sure enough, the feeling of being pressed down on my body disappeared. The body became more relaxed than it had ever been, like a cloud, floating up.

She floated gently to her mother's side, wanting to reach out and touch her mother's face.

But she found that she had no hands. She is a cloud.

"Mom, where have you been? I can't see you, I'm so scared! She said.

Mom smiled at her, "Mommy and Dad are together!" Beauty is not afraid! Beauty is the bravest girl in the world! ”

The beauty nodded vigorously: "However, they all say that Dad is a bad person, Mom, why are you with a bad person?" ”

"Daddy is not a bad person, Daddy is a hero!" Mom said.

Then, a man appeared next to my mother.

The man was dressed in a police uniform, with his chest held out, standing straight, like a majestic mountain.

"Daddy!" It took a long time for the poppy to recognize it, isn't this his "bad father"?

Mom and dad are smiling at the beauty.

"Is Dad a cop?" Beauty asked.

"Of course it is!" Dad's expression was very serious and kind. He put his hand next to his hat and saluted, looking very imposing. "Not only is my dad a policeman, but my dad who is here today is also a policeman."

The beauty nodded, then pointed to the man next to him with a crow on the head of the chicken coop and asked, "Is this Yaya Aoki also a policeman?" ”

"......" Before Aoki could answer, the crow "croaked" and screamed, as if he had heard some funny joke, "She called you grandpa?" Wow – she called you Grandpa! Quack ......"

Aoki didn't understand why the little girl called him "Grandpa Aoki".

The little girl pouted and said, "It's not grandpa, it's yes!" yes yes is - uncle means. ”

"What?" The crow put away its grown beak and complained, "What a trouble with tongues! ”

Seeing the crow's dejected appearance, the poppy smiled happily. Mom and Dad laughed too. Seeing her parents happy, she was even happier.

Dad said, "Beauty, follow your daddy." ”

The beauty said, "Why?" Don't you want me? ”

Mom said, "Your dad will take you to the city, where there are very high houses, big schools, and a lot of friends. ”

"I don't want to go to the city, I don't want to go to school!" The beauty whimpered and cried, "You don't want me anymore! ”

Her tears turned into raindrops in the clouds, and fell into the pool with a clatter, smashing into many, many small puddles on the water. The shadows of dad and mom blurred.

She cried even harder.

Mom said, "If you don't cry, Mom and Dad won't want you." ”

The beauty asked, "Really?" Then why do you want me to leave with Big Daddy? I don't want to go with Big Daddy, I want to be with you. ”

Mom said, "Mom and Dad are very happy together. We will wait for you here together, you will grow up quickly, learn a lot of knowledge, and be admitted to university in the future. When you go to college, you'll know where we are. ”

"Really?" Beauty will be skeptical.

"Really." Mom said, "But if you don't go with Daddy, if you don't go to college in the future, even if you come, we won't see you." ”

Mom's expression was serious. It was the first time for a beauty to see her mother speak so seriously.

She nodded vigorously and said with tears in her eyes: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be admitted to university." ”

The rain became heavier and heavier, the water became more and more blurry, the sky disappeared, and so did Dad and Mom.

There was a thick rain and mist between heaven and earth, and nothing could be seen except for Aoki Yaya and the black crow on his head.

She was so annoyed!

Why should I cry? If I didn't cry, it wouldn't rain. If it doesn't rain, the lake won't blur and Mom and Dad won't disappear.

Mom said I was a brave girl, but why couldn't I stop crying!

She began to endure desperately to keep herself from crying.

The rain did light up.

The sky slowly cleared, and the water became clear again.

However, the water level in the pool is also decreasing little by little, and slowly, I can see the bottom of the pool.

She heard the crow calling, "Wow, is it over so soon?" Don't go on for a while? ”

Then the crow turned into a faint shadow and disappeared.

The water pooled along the ground and in the middle, and then flowed up the four sides of the table back to the table, which resembled a rosewood board soaked in water.

The water on the table flowed back onto the diary. The words on the book are like a group of small fish, swimming gracefully in the water.

After a while, the pages dried, and all that remained was a large yellow smudge.

Everything was back to the way she had been when she first opened her diary.

A crystal tear fell on the paper with a click, making the tear spot expand a little more.

The poppy turned her head and saw Aoki beside her, sitting on a bench with her. His hair was messy, literally like he had been scratched by a bird's claw.

She looked at Aoki's head and remembered that the crow said that its claws had athlete's foot, and she couldn't help but laugh.

……

There were already many people in the courtyard of Old Enkun's house, all waiting for the meal.

Shi Dazhuang smoked cigarettes for everyone while giggling and saying some common words. At this time, he saw Aoki take the poppy's hand and come out of the back room.

Yu Meiren walked up to Shi Dazhuang, bit her lip, and shouted, "Big Daddy! ”

Shi Dazhuang's hand that was scattering smoke froze in the air, and he stayed for a long time before he responded excitedly: "Hey! ”

Although there is only one word, this is the softest sentence that Aoki has said from the mouth of this tough guy since he met Shi Dazhuang. At that time, Shi Dazhuang was like a father who recognized his long-lost daughter.
