38. Do not ask him
"You!" An Shaoyun was stunned, "Don't you want to save your father?" ”
"Because I want to save my father, I can't go." Su Jin's all hopes were in the Anton Hou Mansion, so how could he leave easily.
An Shaoyun obviously didn't expect Su Jin's stubbornness, she bit her lower lip tightly, and said for a long time, "Okay, I'll help you save your father, but after the matter is done, you have to leave, go as far as you want, and never appear again." ”
Su Jin's eyelashes trembled, "You help me?" ”
"I can't let the lady of the Hou Mansion bear the name of a sinner forever." An Shaoyun values the reputation of the Hou Mansion more than anything else. This is what parents taught on their deathbed, and why reputation always comes before status.
The word sinner girl made Su Jin feel sad from the bottom of her heart.
What is a sinner woman? When the Su family was glorious, everyone only remembered that she was the eldest lady of the Su family with infinite beauty, but now she is only worthy of being a sinner girl. Is the world hot and cold, or is the world declining? Who can tell.
"Okay." Su Jin's eyes were glowing with gloomy absoluteness, "As long as I rescue my father, I will leave immediately, and I will never stay for a moment." "It's like a feeling of suffocation, haunting and lingering. I don't know why, at the moment when An Shaoyun said that she wanted her to leave the Hou Mansion, Su Jin suddenly wanted to cry.
It's like a transaction, trampling human dignity under your feet.
At that moment, in front of An Shaoyun, Su Jin even felt that he had been humbled to the dust, but he had to continue to be humble.
"I hope you don't let me down." An Shaoyun walked to the door.
Su Jin took a deep breath and followed without hesitation. There is no road ahead, and there is a deep cliff in retreat, how should she deal with herself?
Following An Shaoyun, Su Jin did not have a trace of happiness, but was extremely depressed.
She believed that An Shaoyun would do what she said, although Su Jin didn't understand why An Shaoyun would behave like this. An Shaoyun is probably also a temperamental person, so he will help him, but it is only temporary.
Perhaps, Daddy will soon see the light of day again; Perhaps, she will soon walk out of the Hou Mansion as it is. Maybe...... Maybe it's all coming to an end. But why does the heart ache faintly, as if it is about to lose the most precious thing?
"Let's go inside!" The jailer glanced at Su Jin, but he didn't recognize that this was the former eldest lady of the Su family, and now the lady of the Hou Mansion. But after Su Jin entered, he kept chattering, "They are all prisoners, and there are still people who come to see him." Jiang Yang thief, he deserves to die, why sympathize with such a scourge. Early death and early superbirth can be regarded as revenge for those unjust ghosts. ”
Su Jin's eyes turned red, and when she looked up, she had already arrived at the innermost death row. The cold stone walls, the cold iron fences, the cold iron locks, and the father who was firmly locked by the cold iron cables.
The jailer opened the door, "Hurry up! If it weren't for the face of the Hou Andong Mansion, where would you be able to get in? Hurry up, hurry up, finish early, get out early. ”
With that, the jailer walked out in extreme annoyance.
Gently push open the iron prison door, others are in prison, it is a wooden fence, her father is a death row prisoner, so the iron fence must be used. Others can visit the prison, but she can't, because her father is a repeat offender and is about to face capital punishment.
Su Jin walked in step by step, tears rolling down.
Su Xin lay on his side in the haystack, and his tattered prison uniform was stained with blood everywhere. The whip marks are shocking; One brand after another, the bone is painful. Because he has been handcuffed by iron chains for a long time, half of the skin on his wrists and ankles has been worn off. A scabbed scar can bleed and pus at the slightest touch.
The person lying on the ground trembling was her father, the richest man in Liaozhou City?
His gray hair, bent at the waist, shrunk into a ball, and his body was bruised and purple.
Tears rolled down his cheeks and fell to the ground, and when he reached Su Xin, he hadn't noticed it yet. Once, my father was such a cautious person, but whenever he approached him, he could react immediately. Now, is it numb? Or, is the father really old? is so old that he can no longer protect his daughter...... He even forgot how to protect himself......
"What, whip or board today?"
Su Xin didn't turn around, still lying down, with his back to the door. His hoarse throat seemed to be wounded, and it was extremely difficult to speak. It's just that he is a stubborn character, so her daughter will have the same pride as him.
With a plop, Su Jin knelt behind Su Xin, and couldn't spit out a word except for the sourness in his throat. She just wanted to call her father, but it became a wound in her heart, an unattainable luxury.
Sensing the choking behind him, Su Xin suddenly sat up, just looking back, and suddenly burst into tears.
The originally bright beard was messy, and the originally sharp eyes were only a dim gray light at the moment. How many years of vicissitudes climbed up Su Xin's cheeks, and that tear slipped down, but how many love-hate partings were broken.
"Jin'er......" The hoarse throat turned into a poignant call. It was his daughter, the daughter he thought about day and night, and desperately wanted to protect.
Su Jin's lips couldn't stop trembling, and he looked at his father, covered in blood. He tried to stand up, but because of his weakness, he couldn't stand the weight of the iron cable, fell to the ground, and finally crawled towards her.
"Daddy!" With a terrible cry, she burst into tears and could no longer hold back.
Crawling to his father on his knees, Su Jin hugged his father, who was tortured to an inhuman shape, and tears rained down, "Dad? Dad, why did they do this to you? Why? Dad..... Jin'er is useless, he can't save you, it's Jin'er who is useless, so you suffer this great disaster. Father...... I want to go home, I want to go back to the way I used to be. Jin'er thinks about her father all the time, but Jin'er can't do it, what do I have to do to get my father out of here......"
Su Xin burst into tears, even if he survived the punishment, he never shed a single tear.
But in the face of his mourning daughter in front of him, he has been hurting all his life, how can he let her shed a tear. But now, he is in pain every day, thinking about what kind of situation his daughter will have. An Shaoqing's curse is a nightmare, and it can be regarded as a punishment for his previous life.
"Daddy's sins, Dad will pay them back by himself, Jin'er doesn't have to do anything." Su Xin wanted to wipe away the tears on his daughter's face, but he didn't want to cry even more fiercely.
One has a changed countenance, and the other has a thin face.
"Father and daughter repay debts, father, Jin'er is willing to do anything, as long as she can change her father's freedom, Jin'er is willing to do anything." Su Jin couldn't cry, and hugged Su Xin and didn't let go. She was so afraid, so afraid that as soon as she let go, she would never see her father again, "Jin'er has nothing, she can't live without her father anymore." ”
Su Xin's wrinkled hands trembled and stroked his daughter's familiar face, unable to suppress the grief in his heart any longer. The old man who is over half a hundred years old has fallen to such a point after Fenghua I. When An Shaoqing said that he wanted to marry Su Jin, he expected that his daughter's life would definitely not be easy, but he couldn't help it. He really can't help it! Hand over the Heart Protector Pill, he will die, and so will his daughter!
"Even if you don't have a father, you have to live well." This is a father's greatest begging for his daughter.
Su Jin held Su Xin's cold hand, it was full of scars and blood, how could he have a trace of his original appearance. Su Jin kept shaking her head, hot tears fell on the back of her father's hand, and Su Xin's hand shrank unconsciously. My daughter's tears hurt so much. Su Jin raised her eyes to look at him, tears raining down, "Dad, it must be very painful......"
"It doesn't hurt." Su Xin smiled, but it made Su Jin worry more than crying.
"Jin'er doesn't cry, Dad likes Daddy's Jin'er to laugh, can you laugh and show Daddy. I'm afraid that after today, I won't have a chance to see it again. Su Xin's smile was more ugly than crying, because of the cold and excitement, the whole person kept trembling.
Su Jin wanted to laugh and tried her best to pull the corners of her lips, but she couldn't resist the speed of tears in her eyes. hand, willfully stroked away the tears on his face, not wanting to cry more fiercely. In the end, only wordless sobbing remained, "Dad, Jin'er really can't laugh." Father...... I wanted to smile and show my father, but ...... But why can't you laugh? Daddy......"
Su Xin's eyes were full of warm love, watching Su Jin's hands tremble and brush his bleeding ankles, and then held his face and cried uncontrollably.
"In the future, we must forget the pain, forget the injury, and live well." Su Xin said it very lightly, and it hurt a lot. The pain of deboning, but mixed with a lot of helplessness.
"Do you remember the relics your mother left you?" Su Xin's eyes were shining, and he vaguely saw his wife back then, "You look like your mother, you really look like you." ”
"Daddy?" Su Jin pulled out a hollow acacia pattern silver hairpin with black pearls embedded in her bun, "Mother's relics, Jin'er has always carried them with her." Dad said that as long as Jin'er is with him, it seems that his mother is still there, and his mother has never left. ”
Su Xin took it with a smile, and a dim light crossed his eyes. Inserting the hairpin back into Su Jin's bun, Su Xin seemed to see the smiling face from a long, long time ago, "Unless you meet the man you love deeply, never take it off." Do you understand? ”
Jin'er, this may be the last dowry your father left you.
Dad has nothing left, but fortunately there is still you.
It's just that......
"Dad, I'm going to beg An Shaoqing, go and beg him, let him let you go." Su Jin looked desperately at her father's calm face, and the gray under her father's eyes was her deepest pain.
"Silly girl." Su Xin cupped her face, "Remember, don't beg him." Even if my father dies, he will die with backbone, and I will never let my daughter beg him like a dog. Do you understand? Jin'er, if you don't listen to your father, then your father-daughter relationship with me will end here. ”
Su Jin wept, her pursed lips trembled slightly, and her face turned pale, "Dad, I don't want you to die!" I really don't want you to die! Jin'er is the only relative in this life, and my father can't do without me! ”
"Jin'er, don't beg him, just leave your father with the last dignity." Su Xin knew that his daughter would definitely beg An Shaoqing, but he knew better that it would only make An Shaoqing insult his daughter more and more. He didn't want to, he would rather die than have his daughter prostrate at someone else's feet.
At that moment, Su Jin looked at his old father and nodded heavily.
