Chapter 9: Returning Home

No, it can't be, Dad would never be here.

I mooed in my heart, and my whole body was at a loss.

When I left home, I left a note on the table in front of the windowsill.

Written:

Father, mother, I came with my past life, and I was destined to leave.

Forgive me, as if I never had a daughter!

Then, under the autumn wind and falling leaves, I rolled up a sorrow, and I walked out of the house without looking back.

From then on, heaven and earth are in the sky.

I am alone, alone, wandering the world.

In my life, it seems that there is no more news about my family.

I was like an orphan who wandered around every corner of the world.

But I never blame anyone, I brought it all on myself, it's just that my desperation and indifference make me feel unbelievable.

For Du Sanniang in the previous life, no matter how many ties there are, I will give them up one by one.

Because, I don't have any choice.

Life is often like this, and there are many painful helplessness in the entanglement.

At that time, I just wanted to find Du Sanniang, and there was no trace of him since.

So I never imagined that one day I would be connected to my family again.

Now, my dad suddenly appeared in front of me, and I even stabbed him.

For a moment, I panicked, wishing that a rat hole could run headlong enough to escape from this terrible situation.

The man who was pulled by the Qian Governor's hand hurriedly walked in, and said to him, "How is it, it's not hurt, right?" Come on, come on, take a closer look, and see if it looks like your daughter? ”

The door creaked open.

A middle-aged man's calm and condensed face appeared in front of him, with a cold look and a hint of resentment.

Who else but Dad?

He has always been such a face, which always makes me feel like a thin layer of separation between me and my family.

The middle-aged man's eyes burned with anger and poured down my face, making me feel as if I had nothing to do.

His right hand was pressed against his left arm, and between his fingers was a shocking red blood.

I hung my head, but this kind of devastating oppression, and finally called out lightly and panickedly: "Dad! ”

No matter how much I am deliberately indifferent, I know that once this man stands in front of me, it is impossible for me to be separated from this family.

So I called this "Daddy", but the voice was so small that even I felt pitiful.

The middle-aged man glared at me and snorted heavily, saying, "Do you still know that my father is here?" ”

I was ashamed, but speechless.

Qian Zhifu salivated with an ugly smile, smiled maliciously, and said, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, right?" To be honest, from the first sight of her, I recognized that he must be your daughter. ”

My heart moved.

It's no wonder that when he saw me for the first time, his eyes wandered very strangely.

It turned out that he had already recognized my identity at that time.

And the conversation between him and his father shows that he and his father are already very familiar with each other.

It's just that I was born so old that I have never felt my father's life, so naturally I don't pay attention to what kind of friends my father has?

So if the prefect asks me if I regret it, is that what my father meant?

Later, Qian Zhifu said something "Ya, it's too hurtful", obviously saying, you girl, so stubborn, aren't you afraid of hurting other people's hearts?

Who else can there be but my father?

By the way, there is also Niang, why didn't Niang appear here?

I was flustered, but I didn't dare to meet the middle-aged man's gaze.

Qian Zhifu took the middle-aged man's hand, stepped aside, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, it's really interesting to say this." Fortunately, I saw your daughter a few years ago, so this glance, I feel that this tomb robbery... I felt as if I knew her, and after thinking about it for a few days, I felt like it was a virtuous niece. It's just that the virtuous niece was dressed as a woman dressed as a man at the time, and she looked sloppy, and besides, how could a woman go to rob the tomb, so I was not sure. ”

After a pause, his eyes wandered, and he said to himself: "Coincidentally, at this time, Ai Zhutou suddenly came to me, saying that this tomb robber was his long-lost unmarried daughter-in-law. That's when I realized he was a woman. In this way, I thought about it in my mind, and the more I felt that she was the Yu'er who disappeared after you ran away from home, Brother Yan......"

The middle-aged man was angry and said fiercely: "I don't have such a daughter." ”

Governor Qian laughed dryly, and said unhurriedly: "Brother Qian, although Yu'er is at fault, she is just a child, but how can you disown her?" Besides, she's your daughter, that's an unchangeable fact, isn't it? ”

The middle-aged man glared at me with a blue face, and that look was more uncomfortable than scolding me and beating me hard.

Qian Zhifu suddenly pretended to sigh, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Hey, but I really didn't expect that the virtuous niece would become a tomb robber......

The middle-aged man's face immediately changed.

Governor Qian smiled dryly, and said: "Brother Yan, I don't think I need to say more, brother, how big is the crime of robbing the tomb!" ”

The muscles on the middle-aged man's face twitched faintly.

How big a crime he didn't know was to rob a tomb.

The law of the dynasty had strict rules that anyone who robbed a tomb only had to be convicted of one crime, and the whole family was considered guilty of the same crime.

Therefore, most of the people who do tomb robbers are the kind of people who go alone.

Even if he has a family, he generally hides it deeply, or faces the world in another capacity, which will definitely make you unable to grasp his back.

How ugly and ugly the middle-aged man's face was at that moment.

Governor Qian was very obedient, not afraid of other people's pain, and continued: "Brother Qian, this is also fortunate that brother I am an official, as soon as I found out that the niece of Xian is special, I didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to invite Brother Yan to come over, let's also take care of the livelihood and accounting, and take the money to eliminate the disaster, turn the big thing into a small thing, and turn it into a small thing." What does Brother Qian think?! ”

As he spoke, his head approached the middle-aged man's ear, as if he was afraid that he would not understand it, and his eyes flashed with gold.

The middle-aged man glanced at him, sneered and said, "What, you still have to blackmail me?" ”

Governor Qian smirked and said, "Where is it, Brother Qian really misunderstood my brother." This official family's business, that's extremely sloppy, isn't it? Fortunately, you and my brother have a game, although this official business is inevitable, but this favor still has to be talked about. If you want to come to Brother Yan to be rich and rich, you only need to get a little bit of a star, and your niece will go home safely to reunite with her sister-in-law, what a good thing! ”

I listened to it with great desire, but I was speechless.

The greedy dog official finally showed his ugly face: "There is an old saying, what 'the son is not filial, the father's fault', the virtuous niece has ended up in such a situation, what do you say as a father, but you are responsible." Besides, it would be a pity if the good years of the virtuous niece were ruined, wouldn't it? In the future, when others talk about it, it is inevitable that the rumors will be very ugly, if Brother Yan doesn't take it into account, won't he understand the feelings of his family? ”

The middle-aged man was furious when he heard this, and he didn't know why he was angry.

But as soon as his gaze fell on me, even if he was angry again, he frowned and held back, but said in a thick breath: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you as much money." I, Yan Wu, can recognize you as eight lifetimes of mold. ”

The middle-aged man's name was Yan Wu, and he walked out angrily after speaking.

The wound on his arm was still dripping blood, dragging little by little on the ground behind him, looking extremely hideous.

Qian Zhifu didn't mind, and walked out with a smile on his face, while saying, "This is easy to say, this is easy to say......"

Looking at the blood droplets on the ground like peach blossoms, he muttered again: "Oh, these peach petals are so bright!" ”

I was angry and hateful in my heart.

I was originally born in the Yan family with the memories of my previous life, and I knew that I would have no chance with the Yan family in this life, and I would have to leave sooner or later.

From the bottom of my heart, I am still very grateful to the Yan family.

Because it was her body that allowed me to come to this world safely.

It's just that what I do in the future will hurt the Yan family, and I can't predict it.

But I don't want to ruin the peace of this house because of myself.

So I felt that the long pain was better than the short pain, so I decided to leave the Yan family resolutely when I was ten years old, just because I didn't want to owe the Yan family too much.

But what I didn't expect was that this mountain did not turn around, and it actually made me have a ghost and a ghost to contact the Yan family.

Therefore, Qian Zhifu's opening to blackmail Yan Wu made me very resentful.

I don't know where I got the courage, I suddenly got up from the ground and shouted: "I'm not the daughter of his Yan family!" ”

Dad immediately stopped his steps, and his body trembled visibly.

Qian Zhifu turned around and said, "Girl, what nonsense are you talking about, do you really want to break your father's heart before you are willing?" ”

Dad couldn't hold back anymore and roared: "You don't embarrass Lao Tzu, how much is your life enough?" ”

I stayed there, feeling like I was going to die.

I know that from the moment I was born to my father's house, I felt sorry for him.

Because I am not the daughter of his Yan family, one day, I will leave.

So, every time I go out to the market, no matter what happens, I don't care, and I never understand their feelings.

Until this moment, my father's roar made me feel like I was struck by lightning.

My tears flowed again, and I didn't know how I could have become so vulnerable, and I just thought sadly:

I've lost their face, I've been losing their face, but I'm unaware, and I'm not self-righteous.

They were worried about me, but I never turned a blind eye to them, and I never cared about how they felt.

They beat me and scolded me, wasn't it all because I was their daughter?

But what did I do?

Willfulness, frustration, resentment, rebellion, I can't do more, so much so that I am afraid of today.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt like a knife, and then I suddenly realized how ridiculous and naΓ―ve I was.

I looked at Yan Wu's trembling back, and couldn't help but call sincerely: "Daddy......"

One word is worth a thousand words, and the feelings that have been in a trance for more than ten years seem to be all gathered on this one "father" word.

Dad didn't look back, but said movingly, "Go home!" ”

I finally let myself cry.

It seems that it is the first time that I feel the warmth of this "home".

In this way, it was as if I was alive again.

I don't know how much my dad spent to buy my life back.

But I can imagine how much money it takes for a person like Qian Zhifu to be satisfied.

I don't dare to think about this question, and it hurts to think about it.

Although his Yan family is a wealthy family, this money does not come for nothing, if it is blackmailed by others because of himself, I feel shameless.

At this moment, in the face of an insatiable person like Qian Zhifu, and my father has always been cold and arrogant, the humiliation he suffered by being blackmailed made me feel guilty.

I am more sad than I despise.

At this time, I remembered what the tomb god said, and I felt even more sorry.

Along the way, Dad always seemed to walk less during the day and more at night than walking.

I thought it was strange, but I didn't dare to ask more.

Dad always kept a calm face and didn't say a word.

Sometimes I glanced at the slanting sun, and suddenly found that my father's forehead was mottled, which made me feel shocked.

When robbing the tomb with Ah San, he also saw this shape like a corpse spot.

I panicked, and quickly dismissed this absurd and terrible idea.

Maybe I'm wrong!

Dad is obviously in front of me, how can I be so cranky.

I walked behind my father, trying to find a tacit understanding to speak, but after a few times, the words came to my mouth and swallowed again.

I don't know how this happened, is it true that the family affection between father and daughter has really faded?

Or is it because of ......

Dad didn't know if he had felt it, and every time I wanted to speak, he would let out a heavy sigh.

I felt sad in my heart, and I knew that I was sorry, so I walked with my worries.

I don't know how many days later, I finally returned home.

What falls in front of you, the mountains and waters, everything is familiar and strange.

The lush bamboo forest, the whitewashed powder walls, and the vermilion lacquer door are slightly mottled in the vicissitudes of life.

The door was tightly closed, and the two brass rings shone brightly in the fine sunlight, like a barrier, blocking everyone from the door.

"It's home!"

Dad only pushed lightly, and the door opened.

I heard a joyful call from inside: "The master is back!" ”

The sound of footsteps came heavy and eager into the inner courtyard.

Worried, I followed my father's back and walked through the door.

There were a few servants in the courtyard who were busy, but when they saw Yan Wu, everyone showed a respectful look on their faces.

"Sir!"

"Master!!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

They all saw my father, but they didn't seem to see me.

A few of them were servants from the Yan family four years ago, but they only looked at me silently, their eyes full of strangeness, that's all!

I just feel sour!

Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.

What a bleak phrase!

Perhaps the scene that the lyricist felt at that time was just the emotion of things passing by.

In front of me, everything is the same, but it looks like a passerby, and the two don't know each other.

This indifference, this desolation, how can you want to cry first?

At this moment, the mother of the Yan family rushed out with the support of the maid when she heard the sound.

Niang was originally a beautiful and plump woman, but at this time, what caught her eye was a thin and haggard face, which made her whole person look extremely old.

This......

Is this my beautiful mother in the past?

It's just four or five years, and the years seem to have ruthlessly deprived her of her brilliant years.

I couldn't help but let my tears flow again.

I couldn't help myself, and cried out in grief: "Mother! ”
