Tang Xiaotian's brows were tightly locked, and his thin face showed a tired look, obviously he had traveled a long way.

He sighed deeply and said, "Some things are not as simple as you think, at that time you were still young, and you can't tell you too much as a father, because the more you know, the more dangerous it is, and one day you will understand the painstaking feelings of being a father." “

Tang Qingqing snorted coldly and did not answer.

Tang Xiaotian slowly walked to her side, as if he wanted to reach out and touch Tang Qingqing, but his hand reached into the air, and when he saw Tang Qingqing's cold eyes, he slowly retracted his hand again.

"My father doesn't ask for your forgiveness, he just wants to come and see you, so I'll go back. Qingqing has grown up, and he is relieved to be a father. "Tang Xiaotian no longer has the majesty of an ancestor at this moment, only the love and helplessness of a father.

Although Tang Qingqing's face was like frost, two lines of tears had already flowed in his eyes.

Tang Xiaotian wiped away the old tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head to look at Xiao Ding, and said with a smile: "You should be Xiao Ding, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that you fought against the three elders of Shaolin, and you broke through the battle with wisdom, and found out the traitor behind Shaolin in a few words. “

Xiao Ding got up and hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "Tang Dabao has won the award, and the heroes have shown love, exaggeration, and they are deserved." “

Tang Xiaotian said with a smile: "You don't have to be too humble, the old man naturally can't be wrong when he looks at people, if you don't see the outside, just call me uncle." Qingqing follows you, I am relieved, you take good care of her for me, this child is a little stubborn, you have to take care of it. “

Xiao Ding smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, I will take care of Qingqing." ”

After Tang Xiaotian said this, he turned around and glanced at Tang Qingqing again, then walked straight out of the door, walked past Xiao Ding's side, and suddenly said softly: "In addition, they want me to be the head of the Eight Great Dart Bureau Alliance, which will be officially established tomorrow, if you have the heart, go over and have a look as soon as possible." “

Xiao Ding responded: "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely go." “

Tang Xiaotian took a deep breath, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good." With that, he turned around and strode away.

There was only Xiao Ding and their table of guests left in the hall for a long time, and Xiao Er was ready to close.

At that time, the larger inns, the floors below were basically also restaurants and teahouses, Xiao Ding and they lived in the inn upstairs, and the little second brother was also inconvenient to pick up people, Xiao Ding threw the ingot silver to Xiao Er, and told him to close the door and go to rest, so that the little second brother was very grateful.

Xiao Ding looked at Tang Qingqing and said softly: "You must go back to Tangjiabao tomorrow." “

Tang Qingqing wiped away the tears on his face and asked indifferently: "Why do I have to go back, I have made it very clear just now, I want to go to you, I won't go." “

Xiao Ding stared at her face and said word by word: "Because if you don't go, you may regret it for the rest of your life!" “

Tang Qingqing's body was shocked, she knew that Xiao Ding would not joke with her at such a time, although she was anxious, she deliberately put her tone flat: "Oh, tell me, why do I regret it?" “

Ye Rongqiu and Sikong Jieyue were also stunned, and even Zhou Ziheng knocked off the remaining tobacco leaves in the pipe and listened carefully.

"Because I don't think your father wants to be the head of the eight dart games, and he is most likely under duress." Xiao Ding said solemnly.

"Coercion? How could the people of the Eight Great Dart Bureau have the courage to coerce the big boss of Tangjiabao? Sikong Jieyue had a look of disbelief.

Xiao Ding said lightly: "Of course it's not from the Eight Great Dart Bureaus." “

"Who could that be, in this place, except for the Nangong family that has the ability to compete with Tang Jiabao, how can other gangs have the strength to dare to compete with Tang Xiaotian?" Sikong Jieyue asked.

"Of course it won't be anyone else." Xiao Ding sighed.

Ye Rongqiu seemed to suddenly understand, and she said, "You mean the people of the Blue Dragon Society?" “

Xiao Ding nodded, and shook his head again: "Not necessarily, maybe it's someone from the Money Gang." “

Tang Qingqing couldn't calm down anymore, she asked eagerly: "What's going on, you quickly explain clearly." “

"When Lord Tang Dabao left just now, what he said, think about it carefully, why did he say that." Xiao Ding said.

"Did he say that they want me to be the head of the Eight Darts Alliance, which will be officially established tomorrow, if you have the heart, go over and have a look as soon as possible." Xiao Ding was afraid that they wouldn't be able to remember, so he repeated what Tang Xiaotian had said just now.

"yes, he's telling the truth, what's so strange about that?" I don't know what to do.

"They wanted me, why didn't he say they invited me? And why did he say that they and not the Eight Darts invited me to be the head of the dart? Xiao Ding explained.

Sikong Jieyue shook his head and smiled: "You are a bit of a catcher, it's just a simple sentence, maybe he just said it casually, maybe he just invited us to go over and sit tomorrow." ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said: "If it's just a simple invitation, why doesn't he finish talking before leaving, but say it alone when he leaves, I just think it's a little strange to look at my expression when he says this, and then think of the things Qingqing just said, I feel that this matter is not simple." ”

Ye Rongqiu said: "Anyway, we have to pass tomorrow, so pay attention to it then." ”

Tang Qingqing had fallen into deep thought, and she suddenly remembered that night, in Songyang Academy......

Tang Qingqing caressed Xiao Ding's face with pity, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "I left Tangjiabao at the age of fifteen to wander the rivers and lakes, and I haven't been back for four years now, I can only rely on myself to protect myself, only if others are afraid of me, I can live." There was a pain in her eyes: "Actually, I also know that others are just afraid of our Tang family's poison." ”

"Tang Xiaoyun is your father?"

"Hmm."

"Then he must have sent people around looking for you in the past few years, don't you want to go back and see at all?"

A trace of pain flashed in Tang Qingqing's eyes: "Don't go, the Tang family is not the only daughter of me!" ”

Xiao Ding sighed secretly, and understood in her heart that although Tang Qingqing was the daughter of the Tang Sect who was famous in the world, she was not happy. The identity that everyone envies, for her, may be a shackle.

They are both fallen people at the end of the world, and they both have an unhappy childhood.

The cold wind outside the window was bitter, and the candles in the house were dim.

That night was too long......

When you are sad to the extreme, you tend to become very calm, and it will only appear from time to time in the days to come.

Maybe it's when you suddenly think of someone, maybe when you see a once-unforgettable landscape, or when you suddenly hear a familiar name in someone's mouth, every time it appears, you will feel like you have been pricked by a needle, faint, but very long-lasting.

Tang Qingqing had become very calm, as calm as this long night.

The oil on the wall had burned out, and the wick had jumped at the last and then went out violently. In the endless darkness, Tang Qingqing didn't even blink an eye.

For she knew that after the darkness came, the dawn would come.

She had even thought that if Xiao Ding died like this after dawn, she would bury him in the mountains, under the snow. And herself, let's accompany Xiaoding here to grow old slowly.

She was already tired of this world, but she suddenly met Xiao Ding, it was Xiao Ding's appearance that made her indifferent emotions warm, and once again felt that the world was worth remembering, and now, this person was about to leave, leave her life, and never appear again.

There were no tears on Tang Qingqing's face, all the tears had turned into blood and flowed in his heart.

She hugged Xiao Ding tightly like this, waiting for the dawn to come.

"It's almost dawn...... "Xiao Ding's voice was as thin as a gossamer."

Tang Qingqing said softly: "Well, it's dawn, we can leave here immediately, as long as you go to Shaolin Temple, you will be saved, Shaolin's Da Huan Dan will definitely be able to stabilize the poison in your body, and I will definitely find a way to find the antidote, don't forget that I am Miss Tang of Tangjiabao." ”

……

Tang Qingqing woke up from her memories, she suddenly understood one thing, she had never forgotten that she was a person from Tangjiabao over the years, every time she lived and died, she would subconsciously say that she was the daughter of the Tang family, Tangjiabao was the sustenance in her heart, although she roamed the rivers and lakes alone, but did not bring trouble to Tangjiabao, but thought about Tangjiabao everywhere.

She was reluctant to call Tang Xiaotian a father again, because she had never been able to walk out of the shadows of the past, and now hearing Xiao Ding say that her father was in danger aroused her innermost nature again.

After all, the love between father and daughter, blood is thicker than water.
