【026】Go home

The train is speeding away. Outside the window, the wilderness is quiet and picturesque.

I leaned back in my chair and watched the window frame in front of me constantly change the scenery.

It was like I was suddenly pressed the mute button, and the hollow was eating away at my thoughts little by little, restricting my thinking.

My world is silent.

I don't remember how I got back to the lawyer's house.

When I woke up, I was in the 'Moon Ming Xuan', and the time was half past five in the morning.

At half past five, the bus was already in operation.

I lifted the quilt and got up, grabbed my backpack, stuffed money and a few clothes into my bag, and checked my ID again. I went out and went straight to the train station and bought a train ticket to Licheng and boarded the train home.

"Sister......" Someone shook my arm gently, I turned my gaze, and next to me sat a little bean with short hair with melon skin, he was holding his palm, and there was a chocolate and a toffee lying in his palm, and he asked me in a milky voice, "Sister, do you like chocolate or toffee?" ”

The journey was long, and Xiao Douding's parents were resting on the back of the chair with their eyes closed. Previously, he had been entertaining himself for a while with his fingers, but at this moment, he was tired of playing with his fingers and turned his eyes to me......

"Huh?" I don't understand.

He winked at me and repeated the question.

I speculate that he might want to rank the two candies and divide them into two categories, but he likes both, and he has a hard time choosing to give the voting rights to me next to him.

“…… Milk candy bar. I replied.

Hearing my answer, Xiao Douding stuffed the toffee into my hand: "Toffee for you, don't cry, okay?" ”

I was stunned.

"Don't cry." He lifted his fleshy hand and wiped my face.

Am I crying?

I reached out and touched my face, and sure enough, I felt a hand shining.

I'm going to cry!

It turned out to be a toffee that comforted me.

"Thank you, little friend."

I also gave a thankful hug to the bean cube.

Little Douding grinned.

I peel the candy wrapper and stuff the sugar into the mouth.

"Sister, why are you crying?"

"My sister is homesick and homesick."

This sweetness made my heart sour, and I don't know how long the tears I had been accumulating suddenly poured down, all the way unimpeded.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when the train arrived in Licheng, and the canopy had fallen. Unlike the capital, which has begun to feel cold, Licheng is still in the middle of summer.

I rushed home and pushed open the courtyard door, but there was no one in the courtyard for several months, and the weeds in the courtyard seized the opportunity and frantically occupied the territory. I walked deep and shallow to the back of the house, and counted the bricks by the light from the windows of other houses. Going to the fifth block on the left and going up to the second block, I carefully pulled out the designated brick and pulled out the key in the brick hole.

I opened the door, and the damp smell of a long time of inhabitation came to the surface.

After entering the house and locking it, turn on the light, Mom's recliner, Dad's tea set...... My nose suddenly became sore. I immediately moved into my bedroom, where my desk was full of unfinished books, halfway through the book, and the cap of the pen was not yet closed...... I was in such a hurry.

I threw myself on the bed, my body sinking into the soft quilt, my head buried deep in the pillow.

Well, that's the smell, the smell of my home.

I smell home, and I fall into a deep sleep.

I've been working like crazy for the past few days.

Sweep inside and outside the house, remove weeds from the yard, and rearrange the vegetable garden...... I tossed myself with all my heart until my skeleton was completely scattered and I couldn't think......

Eventually, I couldn't find any work to do.

I squatted under the banana tree and watched the ants move for a long, long time.

"If, within five minutes, five ants holding eggs pass by, I'll watch!"

One, two, three......

I stood up, pulled the hammer out of the toolbox, and came to my father's workshop, where I took a deep breath and slammed the hammer down the lock on the door.

Although I rarely set foot in my father's territory, I still know everything in the studio. I went straight to the bookcase.

Today, when all the paper media are withering, Dad still maintains the habit of subscribing to newspapers, he not only reads but also makes marks, and carefully collects them in the bookcase after reading, and does not like outsiders to touch them.

At this moment, I opened the cabinet door wide and moved all the newspapers that my father had carefully arranged to the empty floor. I sat directly on the floor, going through my father's collection one by one.

Soon, I discovered that the newspaper marked by my father had one thing in common, that is, the "Missing Person Notice" was published in the current issue, and the content of the "Missing Person Notice" published was the same:

Two years ago, on March 7, a member of a group camping in Baiyun Mountain went missing......

The time span of this "Missing Person Notice" is nearly two years.

In other words, there are people who never give up looking for that team member.

Baiyun Mountain is a famous spot in Licheng, not far from here. And my memory is from March 21. I remember, the doctor said, I was in a coma for about two weeks, and it was a miracle that I was able to wake up.

Time, Place...... That's right......

I can't believe it. Suddenly got up and carefully pushed open the desk cabinet. There is a secret compartment on the wall behind the table, and Dad has hidden a box in the secret compartment. I managed to find the box and carefully lifted it out.

There are not expensive things hidden in the box, they are all documents or something. What caught my attention was a family photo at the top of the list.

Dad, Mom, and a girl.

The girl is not me.

At that moment, my hands shook uncontrollably. I took a deep breath and turned the photo over in a desperate fit to see a powerful blue pen on the back of the photo: "A family of three." Photographed in Qinghai Park. ”

A family of three......

The strings are stretched to the extreme, and they are completely broken.

For a moment, I couldn't breathe. My ribcage heaved violently, but no air flowed in, just as I couldn't get back my lost memories......

My lips were dry, like a withered and withered plant, and I couldn't hold one of them and fell to the ground. The box in his hand smashed to the ground, and the old things scattered all over the ground also smashed with a loud bang.

"Selangor!"

I seem to hear someone calling me. However, I couldn't confirm it because my eyes were dark and I was completely unconscious.

It turns out that those "gossips" are actually the truth.

It turns out that I am really not my father's own daughter, and I am not my mother's illegitimate daughter who I am afraid of day and night.

It turns out that I have nothing to do with this family.

It turned out that from south to north, I never broke free from the lie......

When I opened my eyes again, I lay on my own bed.

The smell of food wafted from the kitchen all the way to the bedroom, and I recognized the smell of Angelica chicken soup, which is my mother's best pick!

I struggled to my feet and rushed into the kitchen. Sure enough, I saw a busy woman in the kitchen-

My eyes were hot, and I blurted out in surprise: "Mom? ”

The man in front of the kitchen turned around.

It's not my mother, it's Aunt Ji.

I couldn't hide the loss in my heart, and said hoarsely: "Auntie......" I realized that I had difficulty speaking because of a swollen and sore throat.

Aunt Ji was pleasantly surprised: "Selangor, you have finally woken up." You're going to scare your aunt a lot! ”

The temple was like a pinprick, and I held my head and struggled to remember: "What's wrong with me......"

"You fainted, fortunately, your Uncle Ji passed by, and when he saw your door open, he thought he had been robbed! When I went into the house and looked into it, I found you lying on the ground. You've had a fever and cough all the time, which is scary...... How do you feel now, is it better? ”

I remember.

At that time, I suddenly fainted, Uncle Ji found me and sent me to the hospital, I have been dizzy, I woke up and woke up, Uncle Ji and my aunt have been taking care of me at my house.

"Much better." I nodded.

Aunt Ji scooped out a bowl of hot porridge from the pot and brought it to me: "If you're hungry, drink the porridge first, let your stomach get used to it, you can't get meat for the time being." I picked up the porridge bowl and drank it slowly in small sips. After drinking the first bowl, I drank the second bowl, and after the third bowl of porridge, I felt that my hands and feet warmed up.

Aunt Ji asked again: "Why did you suddenly run back by yourself?" ”

I don't know how to answer.

At this time, Uncle Ji came in from outside the door, he handed two pills to Aunt Ji with two pills in his hand, and confessed: "For Selangor." Aunt Ji agreed and walked out with the Chinese medicine.

Uncle Ji looked at me and hesitated a few times: "You know everything." ”

I whispered, "Hmm." ”

"Will you blame your dad......"

I shook my head.

"I saw a picture in my dad's box...... Who is that girl? Is it true...... My daddy's daughter? I slowly asked the questions that were lingering in my mind.

Uncle Ji nodded.

"Where did she go?"

"Many years ago, I got a bad disease and didn't keep it. Nope. Since then, your mom hasn't been in good spirits. Uncle Ji thought for a while and continued, "Your father picked you up on the river beach, and when he saw that people were still angry, your father will send you to the hospital...... You are also blessed with a great fate, and you will be able to get out of bed and walk around soon. It's just that you don't know what I ask you, and I can't remember anything before. The doctor also said, I don't know if you can still remember, maybe, this life is like this. ”

"You also know that your mother is in a trance, and she is very happy to see you and think that her daughter is back. Your dad can't bear it, he will be wrong and treat you as his own daughter. ”

My heart ached.

"Actually, your dad has been hesitant and guilty about doing this, indeed, it's like stealing someone else's daughter. He went to check your background, I don't know how he checked it, where to find out...... Anyway, he found out, and after that, he completely made up his mind, you are the daughter of his shepherd's family. As for what he found, he didn't tell me. ”

I wept silently.

"Actually, when that person suddenly came to my house to look for me, I knew that I couldn't hide it."

"Who?"

"He doesn't name names."

"What does it look like?"

"It's a young man, very tall, good-looking. He came up and asked you about you, and he asked you very much...... That man, he has some means. Uncle Ji's face changed suddenly, and he didn't describe it in detail, but only summarized it briefly.

"When?" I asked.

"Just a month and a half ago...... After the man left, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I called you. Knowing you're okay, I let go. That phone number was left to me by your dad before he left for the United States. ”

Is the person Uncle Ji said is Lu Zhaochuan......
