Chapter 36 The Execution of the Cross (6)
Fang Xinling groped and sat up from the bed, and then touched the switch of the light along the smooth wall, and the room became suddenly brightened with a pop, and at the same time, Fang Xinling also saw the man sitting on the edge of the bed without a sound, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then the man turned his head to look at her, Fang Xinling rubbed his eyes in surprise and exclaimed.
"Dad!"
"Xinling." Fang Zheng's familiar voice made Fang Xinling believe that the person sitting in front of her was not her delusion.
After confirming that it was really his father who had been missing for three years, Fang Xinling threw himself directly into Fang Zheng's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Dad, where have you been all these years? Why don't you contact us? Do you know how hard we work with you? Fang Xinling cried bitterly.
Fang Zheng also hugged Fang Xinling back, with tears on his face, unable to say a word.
After a long time, Fang Xinling slowly let go of Fang Zheng and sat down beside him. Fang Xinling was not carried away by the joy of reunion after a long absence, she clearly remembered what happened before she fell unconscious.
"Dad, you asked them to tie me up here? Do you know them? Fang Xinling was frightened by her speculation.
"Yes, I asked them to bring you here, but I didn't expect them to use such rude methods, I was really shocked when I saw them bring you in, does my head still hurt?" Fang Zheng lightly touched the bandage on the back of Xinling's head with his hand, looking distressed.
"Dad! How did you come to know someone like that? You've been with those people for the past three years without contacting me and my mom? Fang Xin angrily pushed away Fang Zheng's hand and said angrily.
"Xinling, it's not important." Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"So what's important? Is it important for you to abandon me and my mother? Fang Xinling's eyes were red.
"Xinling, can you calm down? I didn't mean to leave you and Xiaolei behind. ”
"How do you want me to calm down? Once it disappears, it's three years! Do you know that your mother almost went insane in order to find you? Don't you know how sad I sometimes feel when I see my mother talking nonsense alone? ”
Fang Zheng listened to Fang Xinling's heart-rending voice, and was silent for a long time, just crying silently.
"Xinling, you are angry with me, hate me, and resent me now, I can accept it, I have failed your mother and daughter, I am not a competent father and husband. Originally, I thought I could do it, but then I found out that it was just my wishful thinking, some things no matter how I escaped, I still have to face them, and some separations I don't want to end, I still have to bear them, this is the last time I see you, and then when your father dies, there will only be Fangzheng in this world in the future, that's all. ”
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"I asked them to bring you to me this time for only one thing. Xinling, stop it, don't get involved in this case anymore, you can't fight them, you can live your own life with Xiaolei in peace, and spend this life peacefully, isn't it? The only thing I can do now is to do my best to keep you mother and daughter safe, and I don't have a choice about anything else. Maybe you think that you are the only one who can talk to animals, and I can tell you that I have this ability, and maybe other people will have it. Just this time, will you listen to your father? ”
There was a regular knock on the door outside.
Fang Zheng slowly stood up, turned his head and glanced at Fang Xinling reluctantly: "Xinling, I'm leaving, you must promise me what you say, I'm definitely not joking with you." ”
Fang Zheng's words immediately made Fang Xinling panic, and she hurriedly grabbed Fang Zheng's hand.
"Dad, don't you leave me and Mom, okay? I will no longer ask you what has happened in the past three years, as long as you return to us, I will promise you anything. Fang Xinling pleaded bitterly.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold Fang Zheng's hand, Fang Xinling quickly chased after him to keep him, and suddenly a figure appeared and covered her face, her consciousness began to slowly dissipate again, tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, leaving only the last gentle murmur.
"Daddy."
Fang Xinling woke up again, on a park bench. She subconsciously called out to her father, but the only thing that responded to her was the rustle of the leaves blown by the cool breeze of autumn. Her father's words seemed to echo in her ears at the time of parting, and his face was still so vivid in her mind, but she never saw him again.
Fang Xinling returned home in despair, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Yan Lei sitting on the sofa with a sad face, Yan Lei thought it was her presbyopia hallucination at first, and blinked several times in a row to confirm that it was really her daughter who came back, and the joy almost overwhelmed her like a storm, and she rushed up and hugged Fang Xinling in her arms, as if she had used all her strength to strangle Fang Xinling to the point of pain.
"Xinling, is it really you? Are you really coming back to me? I almost thought I was going to lose you. Yan Lei had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in three years, Fang Xinling hugged her mother like this, and for the first time she felt her mother's deep love for her so clearly and certainly, this love was like a tide, briefly filling the hole in her heart that had just been left by the loss of her father.
It turns out that her mother has always loved her like this!
"Mom, it's me, I'm by your side." Fang Xinling hugged Yan Lei, the touch of her fingertips told Fang Xinling's mother that her body had become thinner and thinner after three years of endless searching day and night, thinking of this, Fang Xinling's eyes were filled with tears, looking at her mother so closely, Fang Xinling found that her mother's beautiful face had become dark yellow and rough, and her black hair was covered with silver threads, thinking of her father's cruel words, Fang Xinling was even more sad, and there was a trace of hatred in the depths of love.
"That's good, that's good. Xinling, in the past three years, my mother has neglected you and made you feel wronged, if it weren't for your disappearance this time, I don't know when I would be able to see how important you are to me, I won't look for it again in the future, I listen to you, we live a good life, okay? Yan Lei's gentle voice made Fang Xinling's tears flow deeper, she just wanted to hug the poor and lovely woman in front of her tightly.
"Good!"
Yan Lei suddenly realized something, broke free from Fang Xinling's embrace, looked at Fang Xinling seriously from top to bottom, and finally fixed her eyes on the bandage on her head, her eyes were full of distress, and she wanted to reach out and touch her but was afraid of hurting her: "Xinling, what's wrong with you?" Does it hurt? ”
"Mom, I'm fine, the wound has been treated, but I'm a little tired now, I want to go to the room to rest, is it okay?"
"Okay, you can go and rest."
As soon as she closed the door of the room, Fang Xinling lay on the familiar bed, buried her head deep in the pillow, and grabbed the quilt with both hands.
Su Xiaonan and Li Chengfeng, who heard the news, stood outside the door and gently pushed open a crack, and when they saw Fang Xinling sleeping inside, they exhaled with relief.
"Team Li, where are you going? Aren't you waiting for the core spirit to wake up and see you? Su Xiaonan turned his head and asked.
"No, I'm relieved to see that she's safe, there are still some things to do in the bureau."
Su Xiaonan glanced at Li Chengfeng deeply, and then followed his pace: "Team Li, I will also go back with you." ”
When Fang Xinling woke up, it was already afternoon, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Yan Lei who was busy in the kitchen, looking at the familiar picture Fang Xinling was both nostalgic and sad.
"Mom, I'll help you." Fang Xinling came to Yan Lei's side and smiled sweetly.
"Okay."
Fang Xinling hadn't eaten such a delicious and satisfying meal for a long time. After the meal, Yan Lei pulled Fang Xinling and sat beside her.
"Xinling, can you tell me what happened to you all day long?" Yan Lei asked worriedly.
"After the other party kidnapped me, he found out that he had tied the wrong person, so it didn't take long for him to release me."
"Is that really the case?" Yan Lei didn't seem to believe Fang Xinling's explanation.
"Mom, what do you think? Our family has no money and no power, why are others kidnapping me for no reason? ”
"Didn't do anything to you, did you?"
"Nope! Mom, where are you going? Fang Xinling couldn't help but laugh.
"That's good, Mom is really happy to see you come back safely."
"I'm very happy, too." Fang Xinling mischievously reached out and pinched Yan Lei's cheek.
"This kid! No big, no small! Yan Lei angrily pushed away Fang Xinling's hand.
Fang Xinling smiled happily on her face, but no one knew how sad she felt in her heart.
"Xinling." Yan Lei covered Fang Xinling's hand with her palm.
"Mom, why are you suddenly putting on such a serious expression? I suddenly didn't feel comfortable with it. ”
"Go and take the police exam, it's not too late, you can definitely do it with your ability."
"Mom, why did you say this all of a sudden?"
"Xinling, it's your parents who have delayed you all these years." Yan Lei said guiltily.
"Mom, don't say that, how can you delay me?"
"Silly boy, do you think you can hide your little bit of caution from me? When the college entrance examination results came out to fill in the volunteers, I saw that your first choice was written at the beginning of the Criminal Police Academy, and then you changed to Liancheng University in the last hour before the deadline. When you were seven years old, you stumbled and fell into the orangutan garden, which really scared me and Ah Zheng, and we also took a lot of care for you during your recovery, but Xinling, this is not the reason why we tied you to your side, you are sensible, filial, and take care of your family, but I don't want you to be unhappy, do what you want to do, I hope it's not too late. ”
"Mom! You-"
Fang Xinling thought that he was well hidden, and it turned out that his mother had always seen it clearly. Hearing his mother's heartfelt words, it was impossible for Fang Xinling not to be moved, but more worried.
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." Yan Lei could see at a glance what Fang Xinling was worried about.
