cast a peach

"This……"

Teacher Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It may not be safe, I don't recommend you to go to...Xiaoshui."

It is easy for young and beautiful girls to suffer in such a small place. There are many precedents for girls who have been supporting teachers in the west before. This is one of the reasons why he has been with Zhao Guangshui all the time.

If something happened to Xiao Shui under his nose, he couldn't bear it.He won't forgive himself either.

Of course Zhao Guangshui understood his hidden worries.

She is not a child who is willful or reckless in doing things, but the inexplicable feeling in her heart grinds her heart like fine sand in a shell, causing her to show a rare expression of persistence:

"I'm sorry... Teacher, I still want to see him."

"I'll ask someone to go with me, okay? I'll stay away from him and not have close contact with him."

Zhao Guangshui said softly, "Teacher, please trust me."

"..."

Having been with her for such a long time, Teacher Wu also probably knows a little bit about her temperament, and knows that she is not a child who can mess around. There must be her own reasons for her sudden insistence.

He looked at her for a while, finally sighed helplessly, put on his glasses again, and said in a low voice:

"I'll go with you."

This is what promise means.

Zhao Guangshui cheered up, "Yeah!" and nodded.

After eating, the two left for the place where the crazy old man lived. He lived in a very remote corner of the village.

The door hung obliquely on the door frame, as if it would fall if pushed open.

"...Hasn't this place been remodeled?"

Zhao Guangshui was silent for a while, and asked softly.

"No."

Teacher Wu hesitated and said, "He's sober for a while, and he's crazy for a while. Normally, no one is allowed to move his house, and this place is also very remote, tourists won't come, so we didn't renovate his place."

He knocked on the door for a while, but there was no answer, and when he was about to turn around and tell Zhao Guangshui that he might not be at home, the door, which was in vain, was suddenly opened from the inside.

A dusty man jumped out from inside, only a pair of eyes were frighteningly bright on his dark face.

He looked at Zhao Guangshui without blinking, his lips were trembling, and he stood still, as if he had fallen into the shock and trembling caused by a huge ecstasy. Only his chest kept heaving up and down, but his legs and feet seemed to be trapped. Frozen and motionless.

Teacher Wu was taken aback by his sudden pounce, took a step back, and subconsciously protected Zhao Guangshui:

"What are you doing! Back up, do you hear me, back up!"

The gray man turned a deaf ear, only his eyes were like two fireflies in the dark night, still looking at Zhao Guangshui brightly.

Zhao Guangshui was also observing him.

She looked at his face hesitantly, and found that she couldn't see any beauty or ugliness at all, because his face was completely covered by hair and beard, and the contours of his facial features could not be seen.

But his eyes were very bright, like a beam of sunlight focused by a mirror, and seeing him made her feel a strange palpitation.

Zhao Guangshui lowered his eyes unnaturally, this man's gaze made her very uncomfortable.

She kind of wants to get out of here.

"Zhao, Zhao Zhihua..."

Just when she was about to leave, the man finally spoke.

His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying to tear off some unused tape.Even so, he was still slowly agitating his vocal cords word by word, trying to speak:

"Zhao Zhihua...is your mother, mother, right?"

As if hit by lightning, Zhao Guangshui froze in place.She felt a tingling chill run up her spine.

"Yes."

She heard herself whispering.

"what……"

From the man's throat came a howl that was almost between the cry of a beast and a child's cry, and she saw the bright tears roll down his eye sockets quickly, and streaked across his dusty face. Wet marks stained his shaggy beard.

"My...my daughter..."

He curled up his shoulders like a throbbing beast, and staggered over, trying to hold her hand with trembling hands, "My daughter...!"

Teacher Wu was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and wanted to hold him, but was pushed aside by the strength from his thin body who didn't know where it came from.

Zhao Guangshui let him hold her hand tightly, and she was trembling unknowingly, with tears streaming down her face.

His tears wet his face, but it also made him show some features hidden under the dust and beard.

The dark eyes, lying silkworms, lips, the curvature of the bridge of the nose, the delicate chin, and even the clear and bright eyes are all exactly the same as hers.

He looks almost exactly like her.

She doesn't need any other evidence, just this face, and she already understands everything.

The tramp-like man in front of her was the father she had never met, the man who abandoned her and her mother before she was born... and her father.

"You are my father?"

Zhao Guangshui asked this question almost blankly, and then quickly answered his own words, "...Yes, you are my father."

Her mood at the moment was very complicated. She felt sad for the man in front of her in such a state of distress, but also inevitably thought of how he made her mother feel pain for him. At the same time, she was also shocked to find someone she had never seen before.

It's as if... Some kind of fate guided her to meet him.

The man cried for a long time and couldn't stop, but held her hand tightly. Zhao Guangshui held back his tears, took him into the room, washed his hands and face, and tried to comb his hair, and found that there was nothing wrong with it. I couldn't comb it, so I found a pair of rusty scissors to cut off his unkempt hair and beard after obtaining his consent, exposing his facial features, and only then did he look like a man .

Teacher Wu looked at his face in shock: he turned out to have a soft and beautiful face like a woman's.

Moreover, he looks very similar to Zhao Guangshui. Except for his rough face, he is almost exactly the same in many places.

"you……"

Zhao Guangshui found a place to sit face to face with him, thought for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Are you awake now?"

Teacher Wu said that he is sometimes sober and sometimes crazy. When she just took him to wash his face, he was obedient and obedient the whole time, but she couldn't judge whether he was sober or not based on this.

The man's dark eyes rolled, and he nodded: "Yes."

He suddenly revealed an expression mixed with eagerness and tenderness, and fixedly looked at Zhao Guangshui, as if she was some kind of precious treasure, and said with all his might:

"You, what's your name? What's your name Sun...?"

Zhao Guangshui was stunned for a moment, then replied softly:

"My name is Zhao Guangshui, the light of light, the water of water waves."

The man's expression cracked.

As if he couldn't understand what she said, he murmured and repeated her name, suddenly stood up in disbelief, and mourned:

"How could it be? Why...why did you have the surname Zhao? You shouldn't be with me...you are my daughter...!"

"Why can't I be named Zhao."

Zhao Guangshui lowered his eyes, his expression was stable and calm, only his eyelashes were trembling slightly, "Do you want me to take your surname? But you abandoned me and my mother before I was born. And I also have the right to take my mother's surname. "

"..."

He sat down slumped, motionless, looking down at his fingers.

Looking at him, Zhao Guangshui felt an indescribable sadness from the bottom of his heart——

Could this be the kind of person who told her mother to abandon her family and father, and follow him south without hesitation?

She couldn't see anything good about him except that he was indeed beautiful.

And such a person is her father.

Zhao Guangshui was silent for a long time, and asked softly, "Why did you cheat in the first place?"

She was sure he heard her, for she saw a momentary look of panic on his face, a quick roll of his eyes, and a twitch in his throat, obviously resisting answering her question.

Zhao Guangshui closed his eyes, then opened them again:

"If you don't answer me, I won't recognize you as a father."

"Oh no!"

He let out a short cry, and tears rolled down again, "I, I said...I said...don't..."

He looked at Zhao Guangshui uneasily, recalling the past with difficulty:

"At the beginning, I, your mother and I came to Meishi together. At the beginning...we were fine, although life was very hard, but we were very happy..."

"Your mother is a rich lady, but she never complained to me at that time."

There was a little tenderness in his eyes, as if he had gradually fallen into memories, and he spoke a lot more clearly, "We do some small business together, she is very smart, she does a good job, and it's getting better and better..."

"And then she became more and more..."

The man's eyes suddenly lowered, "Strength. Her business is getting bigger and bigger, I... I can't feel my dignity in front of her..."

"Then you cheated?"

Zhao Guangshui was almost laughing out loud, her heart was full of sadness - how ridiculous this is, the dignity of a man.

"No, no... I didn't...!"

He explained in a panic, "Your mother is pregnant, she is pregnant! She is pregnant with you..."

"At that time, we had been in Meishi for several years. I wanted her to go back to Zhao's house to confess her mistakes to your grandfather, so that we would..."

He held his head tightly and whispered incoherently, "But she won't say anything."

Of course mom won't.Mom is such a proud person, how could she come back to admit her mistakes after leaving home.

She is someone who would rather break through the south wall than look back.

At that time, the business had just picked up, and she was a mother again, but she was persuaded by her most beloved person to go home and admit her mistakes. It must have been a sad and shameful thing for her.

"Your mother is very disappointed in me... She told me to calm down and leave me alone."

The man whispered in pain, "I was in a daze at the time, and I felt that she didn't value me at all, so... so I went out to find Miss... I wanted to make her regret it and come to save me."

Zhao Guangshui clenched his hands tightly.

"But I was wrong, she won't save it, she will just let it go."

"I've never seen her so angry before. She twisted me from the bed to the floor with her belly outstretched, slapped me a few times, and didn't even look at the lady. The next morning, she was going to have an abortion. I divorce."

"No matter how much I begged her, no matter how much I promised her, she would not agree. In the end, I had no choice but to divorce her..."

The man shrunk his shoulders and said in a low voice, "I thought she beat you, but it turned out she didn't. It seems that her heart is not so hard."

Zhao Guangshui exhaled tremblingly, wiped away his tears, and said softly:

"I'd rather she knocked me out."

She understands everything.

Her birth was a mistake to Mom, a mark of shame and a testament to weakness.As soon as mother sees her, she will think of her unbearable past, her misplaced youth, and her father who looks so similar to her, whom she hates so much.

No wonder she hated her so much.

Someone else might not even look at her.

She didn't have the heart to listen to how the man was tossed and wandered to such a point. She stood up reluctantly and wanted to go out in a daze.

"Xiao Shui...!"

He grabbed her hand in fear, pleading light flashed in his eyes, "Are you going? Please, don't go...don't leave Dad behind, okay?"

As if moved by his self-proclaimed "Dad", Zhao Guangshui stopped in his tracks.

He saw her stop, as if he had seen the dawn, and added hurriedly and flusteredly:

"It's dad who is sorry for you...Xiao Shui, I will definitely make it up to you, really! Your mother has treated you badly these years, right? Dad treats you well. I will take you to fly kites, see crickets, and buy things you like. things, go to..."

"I don't have a father."

Zhao Guangshui suddenly interrupted his series of promises and said softly.

"Is your surname Sun?"

She slowly broke away from the man holding her hand tightly, "Mr. Sun, I am also sorry for your current situation. I will ask someone to repair your house and take you to treat your mental illness."

"But I'm not your daughter, Mr. Sun."

Zhao Guangshui whispered quietly, "I am Zhao Zhihua's daughter, Zhao Hongliang's granddaughter. But I am not your daughter."

"Eat well, so maybe I will come to see you in the future."

She stroked the man's head like a child, comforting him softly.

"I'm leaving, let me go."

Zhao Guangshui looked at him and said.

The man stared at her blankly, and after a while, slowly let go of her hand.

"Goodbye, Mr. Sun."

Zhao Guangshui nodded to him, then turned and left.

She walked very calmly and steadily, only her lips were pursed vigorously, as if she would lose the courage to leave otherwise.

Teacher Wu didn't expect to hear such an embarrassing secret all of a sudden. Seeing the girl's pale face, she felt distressed, and wanted to comfort her with a word or two, but felt that no matter what language she said at the moment, it seemed powerless, so she He could only keep silent, silently accompanying her behind.

"Do you still eat rabbits at night? Xiao Shui?"

Seeing that Zhao Guangshui was about to enter the room, Teacher Wu suddenly called her briskly, "There is still meat stewed in the pot, it is very delicious."

"..."

This is a very gentle and euphemistic care and concern.

Zhao Guangshui stopped, turned around and smiled gratefully at him, "Eat. Wait for me at night, and I will have dinner with you."

After entering the room, she locked the door behind her back and drew the curtains. She curled up in the corner slowly until the room was pitch-black, with no light coming in.

The tears she held back all the way didn't fall until now, and trembling, she dialed Sister Li's phone.

The phone was quickly picked up, and there was a gentle voice, Tan Mingli softly called her "Xiao Shui".

It seemed that all the grievances and sorrows had found a place to be entrusted to at this moment. Zhao Guangshui couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She pressed the phone tightly to her ear, biting her sleeve and swallowing her choked up tears. Voice.

She still remembered the promise Sister Li had made to her before, and she gave a soft "meow" before speaking.

"I miss you so much...I miss you so much, Sister Pear."

She can only say this sentence, sobbing and whispering, "I really miss you..."

Thinking about it makes her bones ache, her heart hurts, she just wants to fall into her arms, ask Sister Li to hug her well, touch her head, so that she won't be sad, and she will be happy again .

The woman was silent on the phone for a moment, and then she heard the sound of her tidying up the table.

"I miss you too, Xiao Shui."

Tan Mingli said softly, "Don't be sad, I will come to accompany you soon."

Without asking her why she was crying, and without telling her to wait, Tan Mingli suppressed her distress, but said quietly:

"I'll take you home."
