It was a face that was all too familiar to him. When he was a child, it was that weather-beaten face that led him through the rugged mountain roads and supported him with a small arm to rely on.

It was a face he would never forget. The face was well-lined, the eyebrows were thick and black and neat, and the eyes were shining. The years had carved deep marks on it, the hair on his sideburns had become a little bald, his eyes were sunken in, and faint wrinkles crept up his forehead.

It was a face that was haggard from illness.

That face was his father's.

"Dad, why are you here?" He said in disbelief, choked up.

"Baby, Dad has never left you." The father smiled kindly, touched his head with his hand, and whispered.

"Didn't leave? Dad, are you still alive? Hearing his father say that he had never left, the young man looked a little agitated and reached out to take his father's hand. The familiar calloused roughness came from the palm of his hand, making him take his hand like a child, beating back and forth around him, and not forgetting to hum a childhood song:

Don't be afraid of the rain,

I'm not afraid of snowfall,

Even if the cold wind and snow fall,

To be able to meet him.

You can say that when you see him,

No matter how the wind and snow are not afraid,

I want me to find my dad,

I'm going to find my dad when I go there.

"Baby, stop first, Dad has something to say to you." Just as he was singing happily, his father suddenly took his hand, and his deep eyes showed a trace of reluctance but mixed with a firm expression, and said intently, "Baby, you must remember what Dad said, you know?" ”

The young man's smile disappeared in an instant, his face was puzzled, he turned his face sideways, looked at his father, a little confused, and the extremely real face seemed to become a little blurred. After hesitating for a long time, he seemed to think of something, and he had already made a decision in his heart, holding his father's hand tightly, squeezing out a smile on his face, and nodding his head vigorously: "I know, Dad, I will be called Wang Shaoyi in the future!" ”

A bright smile appeared on Wang Tianlong's face, and his haggard cheeks glowed with a hint of brilliance. Wang Shaoyi could feel that he was holding his hand and using a little strength.

Wang Tianlong was very happy, and he suddenly said, "Let's go, Dad will take you to go shopping!" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Shaoyi nodded, he supported Wang Tianlong's slightly thin body, and the two of them walked out of the room, out of the door, out of the village, and walked out along the path.

The scenery on both sides of the road changes from the green grass at the beginning to the lush green trees, and the afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, giving people a warm feeling and making people feel more and more refreshed.

Wang Shaoyi looked at Wang Tianlong, who had broken free from his support and walked in front, and his steps seemed to be much more vigorous. Walking on this road, it should be the way to the city, and they are all familiar with this road.

As we walked, the cheerful calls of mountain birds were heard from time to time in the forest, and even the rugged mountain road became smooth.

When he grew up, Wang Shaoyi walked side by side with Wang Tianlong again, and that feeling made him feel a sense of happiness that he had never felt before. Even if time freezes, he will have no regrets, and I hope that he will continue like this.

They walked like this for more than two hours, and by the time they reached the city, it was already approaching night.

As soon as he arrived, Wang Tianlong went to buy a flashlight, saying that he would use it when he went back.

When he took over the things that Wang Tianlong bought, and saw the shape, Wang Shaoyi had a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it. Putting the flashlight in his pocket, he looked up at Wang Tianlong's figure, and there was already a trace of rickets, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it in the afterglow of the sunset.

At this moment, Wang Tianlong suddenly turned around and said, "Yi'er, you stay here first, and Dad goes buy something." ”

"Hmm." Wang Shaoyi nodded, and the next moment, he was the only one left leaning against the nearby corner.

Looking at Wang Tianlong's departing back, the corners of his eyes gradually became a little pantothenic: Dad, don't worry, my son will definitely work hard, and he will definitely let you live a good life, and you will definitely be fine!

Night fell quietly, and after a long time, Wang Tianlong came back, walked up to Wang Shaoyi with a paper wrapped thing in his hand, first turned around in front of his nose, and shook his head involuntarily.

Just a few laps back and forth, Wang Tianlong then opened the bag in front of his eyes.

After the wrapping paper was opened, Wang Shaoyi saw the contents inside, and a sweet feeling rose in his heart, and tears finally fell uncontrollably.

Inside, snow-white and fluffy, with a little red dots in between, is his favorite sugar date pastry. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, mixed with the taste of tears, the indescribable feeling in his heart.

Thirteen years!

That kind of taste can already make people forget a lot of things in the time apart, and what they can't forget is the family affection hidden in the depths of the heart. That deep imprint has been condensed in the heart and will not be separated. He couldn't tell what it tasted like, so he squatted down and closed his eyes as he ate, the feeling made his tears flow unstoppably, and the more he cried, the more sad he became, the louder he cried, until his consciousness was a little blurry.

"Yi'er, how are you?"

Suddenly, a voice rang in his ears. Then, Wang Shaoyi felt a gust of mountain wind blowing through his neck: how did he feel like he was being dragged away? He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Wang Tianlong's anxious face, and the sudden change made his mind a little unable to react.

Where is this again?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my feet, and before I could turn my head, I felt a burst of red light shoot straight into my eyes.

Just then a lightning bolt struck in the sky, and he turned his head sharply.

A miserable white face met his eyes, from his forehead to the corners of his mouth, covered with dense needles and threads, dividing the face that should have been fair into pieces. It was slowly shaking its blood-soaked fanged mouth from side to side at him, and a pair of hands were already in his thighs.

The sudden appearance of a terrifying scene made his body tremble uncontrollably.

"Dad!"

He frantically leaned towards Wang Tianlong's body, and the hand that grabbed Wang Tianlong gradually became stronger, and his nails had already buckled into Wang Tianlong's flesh.

"Yi'er, don't be afraid, Dad is here."

Wang Tianlong's majestic voice came, making him feel a sense of security, fortunately, Dad is still there.

Suddenly, he felt a trail of blood drift down his cheek.

Then another flash of lightning struck, and the rain poured down.

With that lightning, he saw that Wang Tianlong's mouth was oozing blood, but he was still gritting his teeth and pulling himself to run.

"Dad—" He choked up and couldn't speak, and a sense of despair welled up in his heart.

"Yi'er, let's go together." Wang Tianlong's somewhat trembling voice suddenly sounded.

Wang Shaoyi then felt empty under his feet.

Another flash of lightning struck.

He looked around, and the rain crashed against the cliff face.

Wang Tianlong, pulling him, and the one on his leg that was constantly climbing up. They jumped out of the cliff alive.

"No—" Wang Shaoyi let out a heart-rending roar. The mountain wind whistled into his body from all corners of his body, the rain beat his cheeks and made people feel painful, and the feeling of weightlessness filled every cell of his body at once. Everything was fading away, and his vision was blurring;
